Fair Work Help is a legal education platform. We are not a government agency, we don't investigate employers, and we don't replace the free official service. Here's how we're different — and why you may need both.
Legal education service only. Does not constitute legal advice. Outputs designed for legal professional review (Esso HCA 67).
The Security Services Industry Award has 5 classification levels. Most guards are paid Level 1 regardless of their actual duties. That gap — compounded over 6 years — can exceed $48,000 in backpay.

Tell your story once. We turn it into a complete picture of what you're owed and what to do about it.
Photograph or screenshot your payslip. We read it and extract your current pay, classification, and hours — automatically.
We compare your actual pay against the correct award level for your duties — not just the minimum. Most people are on the wrong level.
We calculate what you're owed, build your chronology, and prepare your case — ready for the FWO, a union, or a lawyer.
Every award has its own traps. We know them all.
