Award stage overview
The Award stage of the 4 yearly review will deal with award specific issues in each of the 122 modern awards.
In the Full Bench Decision issued on 17 March 2014 [2014] FWCFB 1788 the Commission divided the awards into four groups – List of awards by group.
A conference to determine the scope of changes proposed to the Group 1 awards (including any coverage issues) was held on Tuesday 13 May 2014.
Following the 13 May 2014 conference a Statement [2014] FWCFB 3718 identifying the parties who have an interest in these matters and the issues raised to date has been published. The statement outlines the next phase of the Award stage for Group 1 awards.
The following documents have been provided to assist interested parties during the Award stage of the 4 yearly review:
The Guide is designed to outline the objectives and processes involved in the Award stage.
The Exemplar Award has been prepared by staff of the Commission based on the Security Services Industry Award 2010 to address some of the structural issues identified in modern awards. The Exemplar Award Comparison document is provided to assist in comparing the existing award with the proposed exemplar award.
A dedicated page for each award has been created. All documents including directions, notices of listing, submissions & correspondence, transcript, exposure drafts, decisions, statements and determinations will be posted to these pages. Go to awards under review.
