VARIATION

 

1.         Delete the words "by Roads and Maritime Services Division of the Government Service of New South Wales" appearing in clause 1, Title of the award published 14 September 2012, (374 I.G. 961) and insert in lieu thereof the words "as members of the Transport Service in the RMS Group".

(a)        "RMS" means the Secretary of the Department of Transport as head of the Transport Service.

 

(Note: This definition was varied following the commencement of the Government Sector Employment Act 2013 to reflect that the Roads and Maritime Division of the Government Service of New South Wales established under Chapter 1A of the Public Sector Employment and Management Act 2002 was abolished, staff moved to the Transport Service, and that employer functions are now exercised by the Secretary of the Department of Transport as Head of the Transport Service.
