TASMANIAN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION

Industrial Relations Act 1984
s.23 application for award or variation of award

Health Services Union of Australia
Tasmania No. 1 Branch
(T.4803 of 1994)

MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES (PRIVATE SECTOR) AWARD

Wage rates - State Wage Case December 1993 - arbitrated safety net adjustment - application granted - ffpp 1 February 1994

REASONS FOR DECISION

This application was made by the Health Services Union of Australia Tasmania No. 1 Branch for the purpose of inserting, in the Medical Diagnostic Services (Private Sector) Award, the $8.00 arbitrated safety net adjustment determined by the Commission in the State Wage Case decision dated 24 December 1993 (T.4692 of 1993).

The parties reported that they had substantially completed the restructuring of this award which in any case is a relatively new award of the Commission. The award also contains two, out of a total of four, minimum rates adjustments.

This consent application is endorsed by the Commission as it is consistent with the Wage Fixing Principles and not contrary to the public interest requirements of the Act.

The award will be varied in the manner sought by the parties and will be operative from the first full pay period to commence on or after 1 February 1994. The orders giving effect to this decision will follow in due course.
