APPENDIX C - EXTRA BENEFITS AND PROVISIONS
Company Productivity Allowance
The Company will pay a company productivity allowance of $3.50 per hour for each hour worked. This allowance shall be paid in full weekly for each hour worked. This allowance is not paid to Employees when they leave site due to inclement weather.
To assist the Company tendering and securing work on smaller projects Employees may agree that this allowance be $1.50 per hour where the builders package is less than $10 million and not applicable on projects where the builders package is less than $5 million.
Superannuation Entitlement
The Company will contribute $90.00 per week or 9% of ordinary time earnings (whichever is the greater) into cbus. "Ordinary time earnings" means the actual ordinary rate of pay the Employee receives for ordinary hours of work and includes an Employees hourly rate, fares allowance, any applicable company productivity/site allowance and any other allowances or loadings prescribed by the Parent Award. In respect of any applicable company productivity site allowance the 9% will apply for each 8 hours ordinary time worked Monday to Friday. This percentage will increase if the Superannuation Guarantee rate is increased by legislation. All other provisions of the Parent Award shall apply.
It is understood by the parties that the Union reserves its right to pursue payment of additional superannuation in project agreements. However the Union gives an undertaking not to pursue claims in excess of 9% or the following amounts whichever is the greater:
1 July 2004 |
$100.00 per week |
1 July 2005 |
$110.00 per week |
1 July 2007 |
$120.00 per week |
Redundancy Entitlement
The Company will contribute $60.00 per week into the Australian Construction Industry Redundancy Trust (ACIRT). This contribution will increase to $68.00 from 1 January 2007.
To assist the Company tendering and securing work on smaller projects (i.e., where the builders package is less than $10 million) Employees may agree to a payment of $35.00 per week. This contribution will increase to $40.00 from 1 January 2007.
Once an Employee has accrued 8 weeks pay in their ACIRT account they may elect to have their redundancy contribution paid into Cbus.
Fares Allowance
The Company will pay a fares allowance of $17.45 per day for each day worked (including RDOs) increasing to $25.00 per day for each day worked (including RDOs) from 1 July 2005.
Additional Meal Allowance Provision
In lieu of the Parent Award meal allowance provision for overtime $15.00 shall be payable. This allowance will also be in lieu of the first 20 minutes crib payable for overtime Monday to Friday found in the Parent Award. This amount shall replace the amount prescribed by the Parent Award and shall remain in force without variation for the duration of the Award.
Projects less than $10 million and Staged Projects
Where the builders project value is less than $10 million the flexibility provided for in this Award in respect of company productivity allowance and redundancy is subject to agreement with Employees. In such circumstances the agreement and details of the applicable project will be maintained by the Company. In the absence of records it will be assumed the project/builders package was over $10 million.
This flexibility does not apply on projects built in stages except by agreement of the Employees of the Company and the written agreement of the Secretary of the Union or nominee. Inclement Weather All Employees shall be available to clean up and/or de-water relevant work areas as directed following inclement weather where applicable.
Hoist Breakdown
The parties agree that where the personnel hoist(s) provided on a project ceases to work or breaks down, as a temporary measure Employees will be required to access their relevant work areas with consideration to safe access, via stairs provided. Under these circumstances, and in consultation with the site safety committee and/or site Union delegate, Employees will be expected to access their relevant work areas without unreasonable restriction
Industry/Workers Welfare
The Company will contribute $2.00 per week per Employee to an administrator nominated by the Building Trades Group (BTG) of Unions Drug & Alcohol/Safety Program, to assist with the provision of drug & alcohol rehabilitation & treatment services/safety programs for the building and construction industry.
