Hello, sorry if this is a silly question. I've recently started at a new job and I've noticed on my payslip it states my base pay rate including casual loading. However, my pay rate does not actually take into account this loading. I was wondering if this payment will come in separately or if it's supposed to be included in my fortnightly pay. Thanks!
That looks like an issue for Fair Work Aust.

Yes- this is a question for your Union or Fair Work - but I know the answer as I work in this field.
You do not say why you know the rate does not include the loading. Check your contract, letter of appointment, or Award/Enterprise Agreement. Depending on where you work casual loading will be 23 or 25%. Most places are 25
Casual rate = (base hourly rate + penalty rate ) + 25% unless specified as better.
This is then the rate all pay should be paid at on your payslip
