TASMANIAN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION Industrial Relations Act 1984 Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union COMMUNITY SERVICES AWARD
Award variation - wage rates - third $8.00 Safety Net Adjustment - consent matter - application granted - award varied - operative date ffpp 14 February 1997 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 has elapsed between the second and third level Safety Net Adjustment. I am satisfied that the registered employee organisations with an interest in the award have 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 14 February 1997, and I decide accordingly. The order giving effect to this decision is attached.
