TASMANIAN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION Industrial Relations Act 1984 Automotive, Food, Metals, Engineering, DRAUGHTING AND TECHNICAL OFFICERS (PRIVATE INDUSTRY) AWARD
Award variation - wage rates - third $8.00 Safety Net Adjustment - application granted - award varied - operative date ffpp 29 November 1996 REASONS FOR DECISION This application, was lodged for the purpose of varying the above award to reflect the third $8 Safety Net Adjustment arising out of the State Wage Case decision (T Nos. 6284 and 6305 of 1996) handed down on 24 July 1996. The application came before the Commission as a consent matter. The award sought to be varied, reflected the first and second $8 per week Safety Net Adjustment and 12 months will have elapsed between the second and third level Safety Net Adjustment. I am satisfied that the registered employee organisation with an interest in the award has given a commitment to review the award in the context of: (i) Consistent awards formatting; (ii) Removal of discriminatory provisions; (ii) Removal of obsolete or amendment of inaccurate award provisions; (iv) Update Clause 6 - Parties and Persons Bound; (v) Rewrite the award in plain English; (vi) The appropriate use of flexibility provisions; (vii) The inclusion of an appropriate enterprise flexibility clause. The submissions presented by the parties, in respect of the application, conform with the requirements of the Wage Fixing Principles and the public interest requirements of s.36 of the Act. Therefore the award will be varied in the manner sought by the parties and the operative date will be the first full pay period to commence on or after 29 November 1996, and I decide accordingly. The order giving effect to this decision is attached.
