IN THE TASMANIAN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION Industrial Relations Act 1984
In this matter the Tasmanian Confederation of Industries (TCI) sought the variation of Clause 24 - Occupational Superannuation of the Draughting and Technical Officers (Private Industry) Award to include exemption provisions to enable specified employers to contribute to other than Tasplan which is the nominated fund in the award. This eventuality was contemplated when the award was first made in so far as Clause 24(e) facilitates the making of application for exemption. In this consent matter Mr Abey appearing for the TCI apprised the Commission that two employers, Featherby Kingston Pty Ltd and Blythe Yeung and Menzies have traditionally made their superannuation arrangements to the AMP Super Leader Fund. Given the consent nature of this matter I do not intend to interfere with that arrangement on this occasion and accordingly endorse the exemption for those employers. In the case of Tasmanian Alkaloids Pty Ltd, Mr Abey informed me that this Company is part of the Johnson and Johnson Group. The Johnson and Johnson Retirement Benefit Plan complies with the conditions in the Occupational Superannuation Standards Act 1987. This exemption matter was also put forward by the consent of the parties. In this instant case the majority of employees have their contributions paid to the Company fund and I will not, in respect of the employees subject to this award determine a different arrangement. Accordingly the exemption is granted. The operative date for all exemptions endorsed by the Commission in this decision will be from the first pay period to commence on or after 1 December 1989. The order is attached.
