TASMANIAN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION Industrial Relations Act 1984 Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union COMMUNITY SERVICES AWARD
Award variation - insertion of carer's leave clause - consequential amendments - vary hours, shiftwork, overtime - consent matter - application granted - award varied - operative 27 March 1997 REASONS FOR DECISION This amended application, lodged by the Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union (the applicant), was for the purpose of varying the Community Services Award to insert a clause to provide for carer's leave, thus giving effect to a Full Bench decision arising out of applications T6296 of 1996 and T6441 of 1996. The applicant produced an agreed draft Order, which included some slight variations to the draft model clause arising out of the previously mentioned Full Bench decision. Those variations centred around part-time employees. Mr Watson, of the Tasmanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Limited, advised the Commission that following discussions with the applicant, the organisation he represented consented to the variations in the form outlined in the draft Order. He said the application was consistent with the Wage Fixing Principles, the public interest and the decision arising out of the Full Bench dealing with the subject matter of this application. I accept the submissions of the parties and the application is granted. The Order giving effect to this decision is attached and will be operative on and from 27 March 1997.
