s.23 application for award or variation of award

Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union
(T.4898 of 1994)

ESTATE AGENTS AWARD

Wage rates - State Wage Case December 1993 - arbitrated safety net adjustment

REASONS FOR DECISION

In this matter the Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union (the Union) sought the variation of the Estate Agents Award to give effect to the $8.00 arbitrated safety net adjustment determined by the Full Bench in the 24 December 1993 State Wage Case decision (T4692 of 1993).

Mrs Dowd for the Union submitted that the application conformed with the wage fixing principles. She informed the Commission that the minimum rates adjustment process had commenced and that some workplace agreement discussions were taking place.

The application to vary the award in the manner requested was supported by the Tasmanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Limited.

In all of the circumstances the award will be varied operative from the first full pay period to commence on or after the date of this decision.

The order is attached.
