At the commencement of the hearing the applicant sought, and was granted leave to amend the application to vary the Miscellaneous Award to - 1. provide for terms and conditions of employment including rates of pay for Career Start Trainees in Clause 8, Division A only; 2. include the fourth and final minimum rates adjustment for the award; 3. combine the base rate and supplementary payment (A) contained in Clause 8 - Wage Rates in accordance with the Wage Fixing Principles. The Commission was informed that all matters, being the subject of the amended application, were consented to by the parties. The Career Start Traineeship System provides vocational training consistent with the needs of the industry and general skills appropriate to the workforce, and to enhance the skill levels and future employment prospects of Career Start Trainees. This is achieved through various vocational education and training pathways, including a combination of work, education and structured training. The Commission endorses this part of the application as it is consistent with the provisions contained in many awards of the Commission and is not contrary to the Wage Fixing Principles nor the Public Interest requirements of the Act. The minimum rate adjustment process for this award originated out of application T.3867 of 1992 and was operative from the first full pay period to commence on or after 1 August 1993. The second minimum rate adjustment was operative from the first full pay period to commence on or after 1 February 19931 followed by the third which was operative from the first full pay period to commence on or after 12 August 19932. The agreement of the parties to include the fourth and final minimum rate adjustment for this award is endorsed by the Commission as it is consistent with the Wage Fixing Principles and nothing was put to me during the course of the hearing that would have me arrive at the conclusion that it was contrary to the Public Interest requirements of the Act. In so far as the form of the Order is concerned, I am prepared to adopt the request of the parties as it is consistent with Principle 8 of the Wage Fixing Principles. The Order giving effect to this decision is attached and will be operative from the first full pay period to commence on or after 12 January 1995.
