LICENSED CLUBS AWARD

Wage rates - State Wage November 1989 - fourth and final minimum rates adjustment - Principles satisfied - consent matter - application granted - award varied - ffpp 1 August 1993

REASONS FOR DECISION

This matter concerns an application to vary the Licensed Clubs Award by applying the fourth minimum rates adjustment.

The matter is one of consent and completes an exercise which is in compliance with the Minimum Rates Principle, which had its genesis in the August 1989 National Wage Case Decision1 and was then endorsed by this Commission shortly thereafter.

It is accepted that absorption of overaward payments may occur to extent necessary in appropriate cases.

In the circumstances of this particular case I am satisfied that to grant the application would be consistent with public interest criteria of Section 36 of the Act.

Accordingly the application is granted and the award will be varied as requested.

Date of Operation:

This variation shall come into operation from the first full pay period to commence on or after 1 August 1993.

The Order [Correction Order]  is attached.
