s.156 - 4 yearly review of modern awards

4 yearly review of modern awards—Award stage—Group 4 awards
(AM2014/250 and others)

JUSTICE ROSS, PRESIDENT

MELBOURNE, 24 MARCH 2015

4 yearly review of modern awards – group 4 awards - deferral of conferences scheduled for 31 March and 1 April until late in 2015.

[1] The Award stage of the Review is being undertaken in stages. The 122 modern awards have been divided into four groups with the awards allocated to Group 4 listed in Attachment A. A Statement issued on 23 January 2015 1 directed parties to lodge submissions by 2 March 2015 outlining any changes they propose during the review of the Group 3 and 4 awards. Those submissions have been published on the relevant award pages on the Commission’s website.

[2] A Statement issued on 19 March 2015 2 in relation to the Public Holidays common issue (AM2014/301) stated that this common issue would not be dealt with until after the Penalty Rates common issue is determined in AM2014/305. Most of the awards being dealt with during the Penalty Rates common issue have been allocated to Group 4 and during a conference in relation to the common issues, parties requested that the Group 4 awards not be dealt with at the same time as the Penalty Rates or Public Holidays common issues3. Accordingly the Commission has decided to defer the hearing of Group 4 review matters until 2016.

[3] The conferences scheduled for 31 March and 1 April 2015 to consider issues in Group 4 awards will be deferred until later in 2015. The conferences in relation to the Group 3 awards will proceed on 30 March 2015. An amended Notice of listing for the 30 March conference will be issued later today.
