ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS AWARD

 

COMMISSIONER P A IMLACH

5 September 1995

Award variation - superannuation exemption - ffpp 22.8.95

REASONS FOR DECISION

This was an application made under Section 23 of the Industrial Relations Act 1984 by the Tasmanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Limited (the Chamber) seeking an amendment to the Electrical Engineers Award (the Award) to provide for the Eagle Retirement Fund (the Superannuation Fund) to be the nominated superannuation fund for employees of the Salamanca Arts Centre Inc (the Employer) covered by the Award.

The Chamber relied on sub-section 32 (1B) of the Act which provides:

"In making or varying an award in relation to payment of contributions to a superannuation fund, the Commission must not refuse to make or vary that award if the superannuation fund -

(a)  is a complying superannuation fund; and

(b)  is one which the Commission is satisfied meets the wishes of employees."

At the hearing the Chamber, with the aid of appropriate exhibits, was able to satisfy me that in this matter the specific requirements of the Act had been adequately met.

Accordingly, the application is granted operative, as requested, from the first full pay period on or after 22 August 1995.

An order is attached.
