Award variation - clause 8 - wage rates - division B only - third MRA -. Additional allowance deleted - consent matter - application granted - operative ffpp 6 May 1997 REASONS FOR DECISION This amended application, made by the Australian Liquor, Hospitality and Miscellaneous Workers Union (Tasmanian Branch) (the union), sought to vary the Hotels, Resorts, Hospitality and Motels Award (the Award) to include the third [and final] Minimum Rate Adjustment (MRA) in Division B - Motels of the Award and deletion of subclause (c) - Additional Allowance. The first and second MRA's for Division B of the Award were implemented through matters T6118 of 1996 in May of 1996 and T6522 of 1996 in November 1996, respectively. Mr D Mathewson, on behalf of the union, presented an agreed draft Order which reflected the final step in a previously agreed MRA process for Division B of this award, to operate from the first full pay period to commence on or after 6 May 1997. Mr Mathewson said that the removal of subclause (c) - Additional Allowance from Clause 8 - Wage Rates was always intended by the parties when dealing with the final MRA. Mr S Gates, on behalf of The Tasmanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, confirmed agreement to the amended application, draft order, the removal of subclause (c) - Additional Allowance and the operative date. Both parties submitted that the approval of the application was within the guidelines of the Commission and was not against the public interest. I accept the submissions of the parties. The award will be varied, as agreed, and will be operative from the first full pay period to commence on or after 6 May 1997. An order is attached.
