TASMANIAN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION Industrial Relations Act 1984 The AWU-FIME Amalgamated Union FARMING AND FRUIT GROWING AWARD
Award variation - variation of superannuation clause REASONS FOR DECISION In the matter The AWU-FIME Amalgamated Union, Tasmania Branch sought the variation of the Farming and Fruit Growing Award to provide for occupational superannuation provisions which accorded with the relevant federal legislation. The Commission is of the view that the requested variation to the award clearly spells out the obligation of employers to contribute, on behalf of employees, occupational superannuation quantums as specified by the Superannuation Guarantee Charge Act 1992. The variation is consistent with Principle 10 - Superannuation of the Wage Fixing Principles and the September 1994 AIRC Superannuation Test Case Print L5100 at page 28. Accordingly the variation is granted operative from the first full pay period to commence on or after 26 July 1995. The order is attached.
