VARIATION
1. Delete
paragraph (ix) of subclause (c) of Clause 7, Employment Conditions, of the
Award published 2 June 2000 (315 I.G. 1415) and insert in lieu thereof the
following:
(ix) Minimum and
maximum hours of work for part time employees specified in the Relevant Award
shall apply to part time Trainees also.
Example of the Calculation for the Wage Rate for a Part Time Traineeship
|
Example
of the calculation for the Wage Rate for a Part-Time Traineeship
|
|
|
|
A school student commences a
Traineeship in Year 11. The ordinary
hours of work in the Relevant Award
|
|
are 38. The Training Contract specifies two years
(24 months) as the length of the Traineeship.
|
|
|
|
"Average weekly training
time" is therefore 7.6 x 12/24 = 3.8 hours.
|
|
|
|
"Trainee hours"
totals 15 hours; these are made up of 11 hours work which is worked over 2
days of the
|
|
week plus 1-1/2 hours on the
job training plus 2-1/2 hours off the job approved training at school and at
|
|
TAFE.
|
|
|
|
So the wage rate in Year 11
is:
|
|
|
|
$246 x
|
15
- 3.8
|
= $90.63 plus any applicable penalty rates under the relevant
Award.
|
|
|
30.4
|
|
|
|
|
The wage rate varies when the student
completes Year 11 and passes the anniversary date of 1 January the
|
|
following year to begin Year
12 and/or if "Trainee hours" changes.
|
2. Delete
subclause (e) of Clause 8, Wages and insert in lieu thereof the following:
(e) The rates of pay
in this award include the adjustments payable under the State Wage Case
2008. These adjustments may be offset
against:
(a) any equivalent
over-award payments; and/or
(b) award wage
increases since 29 May 1991 other than safety net State Wage Case and minimum
rates adjustments.
3. Delete Part B,
Monetary Rates and insert in lieu thereof the following:
