RESTAURANT KEEPERS AWARD

State Wage Case - increase wage rates and work related allowances by 2.5% and first Minimum Rates Adjustment

REASONS FOR DECISION

This matter concerns an application to vary the Restaurant Keepers Award by increasing wage rates and work related allowances by 2.5% and by granting the first minimum rates adjustment.

Justification for the granting of such application is that it is by consent, plus the fact that is was predicated by accompanying further award variations going to, inter alia:

• Trainees
• Transitional provisions
• New classifications
• New definitions
• Casual employment
• Reduction in penalty rates
• Part-time work
• Hours of work
• Sick leave
• A "work as directed" clause
• Consultative mechanisms

Such measures meet the requirement of Principle 2 - Structural Efficiency, items (a) to (g) inclusive. I am also satisfied that to grant the variations sought would be consistent with public interest criteria specified by Section 36 of the Act.

For these reasons the application is granted and the award will be varied accordingly.

Date of Operation

These variations shall have effect from the first full pay period to commence on or after 8 October 1991.

Order will follow.
