Award variations - insertion of carers leave clause - consequential changes - consent matter - applications approved - operative ffpp 24.05.99 REASONS FOR DECISION These applications which were heard jointly, were made under section 23 of the Industrial Relations Act 1984 (the Act) by the Australian Liquor, Hospitality and Miscellaneous Workers Union - Tasmanian Branch (the Union) seeking variations to the Hairdressers Award, the Shipping Award, the Fibreglass and Plastics Award, the Restaurant Keepers Award, the Licensed Clubs Award, the Hotels, Resorts, Hospitality and Motels Award and the Aerated Waters Award (the seven awards). The variations were sought to give effect to the Full Bench decision1 which, subject to a separate application in each case, approved the insertion of family leave/personal carer's leave into the awards of the Commission following test case decisions in the Australian Industrial Relations Commission. The Full Bench decision also provided a draft model Carer's Leave clause plus the consequential clause amendments. The parties produced agreed draft orders for each of the seven awards and submitted to the Commission that the granting of the applications was not against the public interest nor the Principles of the Commission. I accept the submissions of the parties and the applications are approved. The parties agreed that the variations to the seven awards should commence operation from the first full pay period on or after 21 April 1999, but, in accordance with the Full Bench decision, they will commence from the date of this decision. Orders are attached.
