AN120154 – Concrete Pipe and Concrete Products Factories Consolidated (State) Award

APPENDIX A - CLASSIFICATIONS

Classifications Translation - the translation of the classification structure prior to 11 September 1991 to the new structure and the application of the minimum rates adjustments is as follows:

Old Classification	New Classification
Group 1	Level 3
Group 2	Level 2
Group 3	Level 1
Group 4	Level 3

Increases arising from the introduction of the new classification structure should be absorbed to the extent that overaward payments will allow. In the case of Group 4 employees, most will properly translate, on the basis of their current wage rate, to Level 3. Some, however, will already be in receipt of a wage in excess of the Level 3 rate. In such cases, the difference between their current rate of pay and the new Level 3 rate should become their overaward payment.
