4 yearly review of modern awards
(AM2014/217 and others)
JUSTICE ROSS, PRESIDENT |
MELBOURNE, 11 DECEMBER 2014 |
4 yearly review of modern awards – award stage – Group 3 and 4 awards – final sub-groupings
[1] In a Statement dated 28 November 2014 1 the Commission indicated that it would publish finalised sub-groupings for Group 3 and 4 awards as part of the 4 yearly review of modern awards.
[2] Attachment A to this Statement sets out the final sub-groupings for those awards. Parties were provided an opportunity to comment on the sub-groupings prior to finalisation and three submissions were received. Two of the submissions simply supported the draft sub-grouping.
[3] The Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees’ Association (SDA) proposed that the following awards be placed in a separate sub-group:
[4] The SDA submitted that in the current proposed sub-groupings placing two of the largest broad industries together (Retail and Hospitality) would make the sub-grouping unwieldy, given the number of participants and the broad and diverse range of industries covered. I do not agree with the SDA’s proposal and the sub-groupings will remain as previously advised (see Attachment A). The matters raised by the SDA can be addressed in the scheduling times allocated for conference and hearings in respect of the awards in sub-group 4F. Sub-group 4F has been allocated additional time for the initial conference to be held on 12 February 2015.
[5] Parties are reminded of the general process for group 3 and 4 awards that was set out in the 28 November 2014 Statement 2:
(i) Initial conferences for group 3 and 4 awards will be held on 10, 11 and 12 February 2015. The purpose of these conferences is to identify the nature of the issues to be raised by interested parties during the review of each of these awards. The conferences will start at 10.00 am and awards will be allocated a specific time slot during each day, once the award sub-groupings have been finalised. A detailed schedule for these conferences will be published on the Commission’s website, along with the listings. A copy of the schedule is attached to this statement (see Attachment B)
(ii) Prior to the February conferences parties will be asked to identify the nature of any changes they intend to propose during the review of these awards. This material is to be filed by no later than 4.00 pm on 2 February 2015. All materials are to be sent to amod@fwc.gov.au.
(iii) After the February conferences the Commission will publish a draft Statement setting out the range of issues arising in each award and proposed directions for determining these matters. The proposed directions will include timelines for lodging written submissions and hearing dates. The directions will be in draft form and there will be a consultation period in which interested parties will be able to comment on the proposed directions and add to the range of issues identified in respect of each award. A Final Statement will be issued after the close of the consultation period.
