Guild questions APESMA’s underpayment claims

The Pharmacy Guild has responded to criticism from the Association of Professional Engineers,Scientists and Managers, Australia (APESMA) of alleged underpayments to employee pharmacists.

The attack came about a week after APESMA accused community pharmacies of “illegally” paying more than half of Australia’s supervised interns less than the award rates under the Pharmacy Industry Award 2010 (PIA).
