Methodology
Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).
9 of the 14 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 5 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 0 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.
The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source for each breakdown it prices, in week (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 19 figures, never sentences; 56 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.
The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per entitlement per instrument (the National Minimum Wage, the modern award, each state's long-service-leave Act) with the figure and its effective date quoted from Fair Work, the Commission or the state; the derivation is the cost of the entitlement set expressed as a percentage of base pay - what leave, loading, holidays and long service add before any tax - which neither Fair Work nor the Commission publishes
56 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
