$21.00 an hour is below the national minimum wage of $26.44. Unless you are a junior, an apprentice, or on a supported wage, this may be an underpayment — check your award rate. Casual employees receive the 25% loading instead of paid leave, so $26.25 an hour casual is not the same as $26.25 permanent.
