T1862 of 1989	IN THE MATTER OF AN APPLICATION BY THE TASMANIAN CONFEDERATION OF INDUSTRIES TO VARY THE HOSPITALS AWARD

	RE: METHOD OF CALCULATION OF JUNIOR RATES

COMMISSIONER RJ WATLING	HOBART, 23 March 1989

REASONS FOR DECISION

APPEARANCES:

For the Tasmanian Confederation of Industries	- Mr W.J. Fitzgerald with Mr R. Murray

For the Australian Nursing Federation, Tasmanian Branch	- Mr. I.G.M. Grant

For The Hospital Employees Federation of Australia Tasmania Branch	- Mr I. Linnell

DATE AND PLACE OF HEARING:

21 March 1989 Hobart

This application to vary the Hospitals Award was made by the Tasmanian Confederation of Industries for the purpose of inserting a method for calculating junior rates appearing in Clause 8 of the award to enable the application of proportionate amounts to juniors resulting from the $10 per week State Wage Case decision.

The applicant presented documentation showing the necessary amendments.

At the conclusion of a private conference, during the course of the hearing, I was advised by all parties that agreement had been reached on the appropriate method for calculating the said junior rates.

The agreed position of the parties receives the support of the Commission and the award will be varied in the manner sought.

These are only administrative variations and do not call into question any of the Wage Fixing Principles.

The orders giving effect to this decision will be incorporated in the consolidation of awards giving effect to the $10 increase arising out of the State Wage Case decision of 5 September 1988 operative from the beginning of the first full pay period to commence on or after 15 March 1989.

R.J. Watling
COMMISSIONER
