PART A
1. Title
This award shall be known as the Crown Employees (Public
Service Training Wage) Award 2008.
2. Application
(a) This award applies
to persons who are undertaking an approved traineeship and is to be read in
conjunction with the Public Sector Employment and Management Act 2002
and the Public Sector Employment and Management (General) Regulation 1996 and
any relevant industrial instrument.
(b) The terms and
conditions of any relevant industrial instrument apply, except where
inconsistent with this award.
(c) This award does
not apply to employees who were employed under any industrial instrument prior
to the date of approval of a traineeship relevant to the Department, except
where agreed upon between the department head and the relevant union(s).
(d) This award does
not apply to the apprenticeship system.
3. Objective
The objective of this award is to assist with the establishment
of a system of approved traineeships that provide nationally recognised
training in conjunction with employment in order to enhance the skill levels
and future employment prospects of trainees, particularly young people, and the
long-term unemployed.
The system is neither designed nor intended for those who
are already trained and job ready. It
is not intended that existing employees will be displaced from employment by
trainees.
This award does not replace the prescription of training
requirements in any relevant industrial instrument.

7. Wages
(a)
(i) The weekly
wages payable to trainees are as provided in Table 1 - Full-time Weekly Wage
Rates, of Part B, Monetary Rates.
(ii) These wage
rates will only apply to trainees while they are undertaking an approved
traineeship which includes an approved training course or training program as
defined in this award.
(iii) The wage rates
prescribed by this clause do not apply to complete trade level training covered

against any equivalent over-award payments and/or award wage increases since 29
May 1991 other than safety net, State Wage Case, and minimum rates adjustments.
(b) Appendix A to
Part B, Monetary Rates, sets out the general skill levels for
traineeships. The determination of the
appropriate skill level for each approved traineeship is based on the following
criteria:
(i) any agreement
of the parties;
(ii) the nature of
the industry;
(iii) the total
training plan;
(iv) recognition that
training can be undertaken in stages; and
(v) the exit skill
level in the relevant industrial instrument contemplated by the training
contract.
If the parties disagree with such determination, any
party to the award may seek to have the matters in dispute determined by the
Industrial Relations Commission of New South Wales.
(c) For the purposes
of this award, "out of school" refers only to periods out of school
beyond Year 10, and is deemed to:
(i) include any
period of schooling beyond Year 10 which was not part of nor contributed to a
completed year of schooling;
(ii) include any
period during which a trainee repeats in whole or part a year of schooling
beyond Year 10; and
(iii) not include
any period during a calendar year in which a year of schooling is completed;
(iv) have effect on an
anniversary date, being 1 January in every year.
(d) For the purposes
of this award, any person leaving school before completing Year 10 is deemed to
have completed Year 10.
(e) At the
conclusion of the traineeship, this award ceases to apply to the employment of
the trainee and the relevant industrial instrument applies to the former
trainee.
8. Part-Time
Traineeships
(a) Trainees who
undertake traineeships on a part-time basis work less than full-time ordinary
hours and undertake the approved training course or training program at the
same or lesser training time than a full-time trainee.
(b) A part-time
trainee receives, on a pro rata basis, all employment conditions applicable to
a full-time trainee. All the provisions
of this award apply to part-time trainees except as specified in this clause.
(c) A part-time
trainee may, by agreement, transfer to a full-time traineeship position if one
becomes available.
(d) The minimum
daily engagement periods specified in the relevant industrial instrument are
also applicable to part-time trainees.
If there is no provision for a minimum daily engagement
period in the relevant industrial instrument applying to part-time employees,
then the minimum start is three continuous hours. By agreement, a part-time trainee may work a minimum start of two
continuous hours, on two or more days per week, provided that:
(i) a two-hour
start is sought by the trainee to accommodate the trainee's personal
circumstances; or
(ii) the place of
work is within a distance of five kilometres from the trainee's place of
residence.
9. School-Based
Traineeships
(a) School-based
trainees undertake traineeships on a part-time basis in accordance with the
requirement to balance their school and work commitments. The department head must set hours of work
consistent with the trainee's obligation to attend school.
(b) School-based
trainees are not required to attend work during the interval starting four
weeks prior to the commencement of the final year Higher School Certificate Examination
period and ending upon the completion of the trainee's last HSC examination
paper.
(c) School-based
trainees must not work on their own.
(d) For the purposes
of this award, a school-based trainee becomes either a full-time or part-time trainee
as at 1 January of the year following the year in which they ceased to be a
school student.
10. Wage Rates for
Part-Time and School-Based Trainees
Weekly Wage Rates
(a) The wage rate
calculation is based on the full-time wage rate varied by the amount of
training and/or the amount of work over the period of the training
contract. The formula is:
Weekly Wage
|
=
|
Full-time wage rate x (trainee hours - average weekly
training time)
|
|
|
28
|
Note: 28 in the above average formula represents 35
ordinary full-time hours minus the average training time for full-time trainees
(i.e. 20%). The formula will be
adjusted if the relevant industrial instrument specifies different ordinary
full-time hours. For example, if the
ordinary weekly hours are 38, 30.4 will replace 28.
(b) "Full-time
wage rate" means the appropriate rate as set out in Table 1 - Full-time
Weekly Wage Rates, of Part B, Monetary Rates.
(c) "Trainee
hours" are the hours worked per week including the time spent in the
approved course or program. For the
purposes of this definition, the time spent in the approved course or program
may be taken as an average for that particular year of the traineeship.
(d) "Average
weekly training time" is based upon the length of the traineeship
specified in the training contract. The
formula is:
Average weekly training time
|
=
|
7 x 12
|
|
|
Length of the traineeship in months
|
Note 1: 7 in the above formula represents the average weekly
training time for a full-time trainee whose ordinary hours are 35 per
week. The formula will be adjusted if
the relevant industrial instrument specifies different ordinary weekly hours. For example, where the ordinary weekly hours
are 38, 7.6 will replace 7.
Note 2: The parties note that the training contract
will require a trainee to be employed for sufficient hours to complete all
requirements of the recognised traineeship vocation, including the on-the-job
work component and demonstration of competencies. The parties also note that this would normally result in the
equivalent of a full day's on-the-job work per week.
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
industrial instrument are 35. The
training contract specifies two years (24 months) as the length of the
traineeship.
Average weekly training time is therefore
|
7 x 12
|
=
|
3.5 hours
|
|
24
|
|
|
"Trainee hours" total 15 hours, made up of 11
hours work over two days of the week plus 1½ hours on-the-job training plus 2½
hours off-the-job approved training at school and at TAFE.
So the wage rate in Year 11 is:
$246 x (15 ‑ 3.5)
|
=
|
$101.04 plus any applicable penalty rates under
the
|
28
|
|
relevant industrial
instrument
|
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.
Hourly Wage Rates
Due to the variation in hours worked each week for some
part-time trainees, especially school-based trainees, it may be appropriate to
pay an hourly wage rate as provided in Table 2 - Hourly Wage Rates, of Part B,
Monetary Rates. The hourly rates as set
out in Table 2 are based on a 35-hour week.
If the ordinary full-time weekly hours are not 35, the rate in the table
should be multiplied by 35 and then divided by the ordinary full-time hours to
obtain the correct hourly rate.
The hours for which payment is made are determined as
follows:
(a) Where the
approved training for a traineeship (including a school-based traineeship) is
provided off the job by a registered training organisation, for example, at school
or at TAFE, these rates only apply to the total hours worked by the part-time
trainee on the job.
(b) Where the
approved training is undertaken on the job or in a combination of on the job
and off the job, and the average proportion of time to be spent in approved
training is 20% (i.e. the same as for the equivalent full time traineeship):
(i) if the training
is solely on the job, then the total hours on the job are multiplied by the
applicable hourly rate, and then 20% is deducted.
(ii) if the training
is partly on the job and partly off the job, then the total of all hours spent
in work and training are multiplied by the applicable hourly rate, and then 20%
is deducted.
Note: 20% is the average proportion of time spent in
approved training which has been taken into account in setting the wage rates
for most full-time traineeships.
11. Grievance and
Dispute Settling Procedures
(a) In general,
matters relating to trainees are dealt with under the provisions of the Apprenticeship
and Traineeship Act 2001.
(b) In accordance
with the grievance and dispute settling procedures, the trainee notifies the
supervisor of the substance of any grievance or dispute and requests a meeting
with the supervisor to discuss the matter and, if possible, states the remedy
sought.
Where the grievance or dispute involves confidential or
other sensitive material (including issues of
harassment or discrimination under the Anti Discrimination Act,
1977) that makes it impractical for the trainee to advise their immediate
manager the notification may occur to the next appropriate level of management,
including where required, to the Department Head or delegate.
(c) If no remedy is
found, the trainee seeks further discussions and attempts to resolve the
grievance or dispute at a higher level of authority, where appropriate.
(d) Reasonable time
limits must be allowed for discussion at each level of authority, having regard
to the nature of the grievance or dispute.
(e) At the
conclusion of the discussion, the trainee must be provided with a response to
their grievance or dispute if the matter has not been resolved, including
reasons for not implementing any proposed remedy.
(f) Any party to
the traineeship can refer the matter to the New South Wales Vocational Training
Tribunal under the provisions of the Apprenticeship and Traineeship Act
2001.
(g) If no resolution
can be found, any party to the grievance or dispute or their representatives
may refer the matter to the Industrial Relations Commission of New South Wales.
(h) The trainee may
involve a representative, including a union, and the department may be
represented by more senior management or other appropriate person or body for
the purposes of each procedure.
(i) While the
dispute procedure is being followed, normal work continues.
12.
Anti-Discrimination
(a) It is the
intention of the parties bound by this award to seek to achieve the object in
section 3(f) of the Industrial Relations Act 1996 to prevent and
eliminate discrimination in the workplace. This includes discrimination on the
grounds of race, sex, marital status, disability, homosexuality, transgender
identify, age and responsibilities as a carer.
(b) It follows that,
in fulfilling their obligations under clause 11, Grievance and Dispute Settling
Procedures, the parties have obligations to take all reasonable steps to ensure
that the operation of the provisions of this award are not directly or
indirectly discriminatory in their effects.
It will be consistent with the fulfilment of these obligations for the
parties to make application to vary any provision of the award which, by its
terms or operation, has a direct or indirect discriminatory effect.
(c) Under the Anti-Discrimination
Act 1977, it is unlawful to victimise an employee because the employee has
made or may make or has been involved in a complaint of unlawful discrimination
or harassment.
(d) Nothing in this
clause is to be taken to affect:
(a) any conduct or
act which is specifically exempted from anti-discrimination legislation;
(b) offering or
providing junior rates of pay to persons under 21 years of age;
(c) any act or
practice of a body established to propagate religion which is exempted under
section 56(d) of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977;
(d) a party to this
award from pursuing matters of unlawful discrimination in any State or Federal
jurisdiction.
(e) This clause does
not create legal rights or obligations in addition to those imposed upon the
parties by legislation referred to in this clause.
Notes:
(a) Employers and employees
may also be subject to Commonwealth anti-discrimination legislation.
(b) Section 56(d) of
the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 provides:
"Nothing in this Act affects ... any other act or
practice of a body established to propagate religion that conforms to the
doctrines of that religion or is necessary to avoid injury to the religious
susceptibilities of the adherents of that religion."
