INSURANCE AWARD

 

COMMISSIONER P A IMLACH

30 November 1992

Award variation - Minimum Rates Adjustment - third increase

REASONS FOR DECISION

This was an application made by the Federated Clerks Union of Australia, Tasmanian Branch (the Union) for the third Minimum Rates Adjustment (MRA) to be implemented in the Insurance Award (the Award).

The Union, in its submissions, referred to the history of the introduction of the MRA process in the Award which began in matter T.3522 of 1991. The second MRA was implemented in matter T.3776 of 1992.

This application, the Union said, merely sought the continuation of the MRA process six months after the commencement of the second MRA, as agreed: it was in accordance with the Guidelines of the Commission and was not against the public interest.

The operative date sought was the first full pay period to commence on or after 4 December 1992.

The Tasmanian Confederation of Industries confirmed the details contained in the Union's submissions and indicated its agreement to the application and the operative date sought.

I accept the submissions of the parties, the application is granted operative from the first full pay period to commence on or after 4 December 1992.

The parties are reminded of the commitment that, consistent with the Guidelines of the Commission, any outstanding over-award payments will be absorbed further by the increases introduced by this decision.

An order is attached.
