[2] The application sought to vary the Ice Cream Makers Award by increasing the wage rates contained in Clause 8. However, at the commencement of the hearing Mr P Tullgren, for the applicant, sought and was granted leave to amend the application to:
[3] In respect to the safety net adjustment increases, Mr P Tullgren presented Exhibit T1 (see attachment) that represented an agreement, between the parties to the award, as to how and when the increases would be implemented. [4] He said the increases to be operative from the first full pay period to commence on or after 8 October 2002 included the fourth and final minimum rates adjustment and the safety net adjustment increases arising out of State Wage Case decisions up to and including the 1998 decision. [5] The increases to be operative from the first full pay period to commence on or after 1 March 2003, Mr Tullgren submitted, reflected the safety net adjustment increases arising out of State Wage Case decisions up to and including the 2000 decision. [6] Mr Tullgren further submitted that the parties had agreed that a consent order arising out of these proceedings should reflect that part of Exhibit T1 giving effect to the 8 October 2002 and the 1 March 2003 increases along with increasing the meal allowance to $11.90 and the supported wage to $56.00. [7] Future applications would be made, Mr Tullgren submitted, to implement the agreed programme as outlined in Exhibit T1 and the transcript of these proceedings. This, he said, would be some time after the next State Wage Case. [8] Ms J Thomas, for the Tasmanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Limited, supported the submissions of the applicant. [9] Having considered the submissions of the parties, I am prepared to approve these variations, as they are consistent with the Wage Fixing Principles. [10] The Order giving effect to this decision attached.
