IN THE TASMANIAN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION

Industrial Relations Act 1984

In its interim decision of 16 June regarding an application for ratification of a substantially agreed proposal to include superannuation provisions in the Licensed Clubs Award, the Commission referred certain non-agreed matters back to the parties for further consideration.

When the hearing was resumed on 6 July, the Commission was informed that a solution had been found which was mutually satisfactory to the parties. To this end an exhibit incorporating what was agreed was tendered. This took the form of a proposed award variation.

Mr. Sherry informed the Commission that a satisfactory compromise had been reached in relation to the definition of "eligible employee". The agreed definition incorporated the criteria to be met as a condition precedent to the eligibility of casual and parttime employees to participate in the proposed superannuation scheme.

The union tendered a document (to be idenfied as "Appendix A") listing all registered clubs with the exception of those cited by the Tasmanian Confederation of Industries as members of that organisation. The latter were subsequently documented and recorded as "Appendix B". Both Appendices will be filed with the Registrar of the Commission, and may be amended from time to time.

As a satisfactory compromise has now been reached on the matters that were referred back, I now indicate that the variations proposed will be incorporated in the Licensed Clubs Award in accordance with revised Exhibit P (which exhibit updates and incorporates Exhibits A, B, and C).

OPERATIVE DATE:

The award variation [correction order] shall take effect in the following manner:

Provisions set out in Appendix A - as from 1 June 1988;

Provisions set out in Appendix B - as from 30 September 1988.
