9.4.1 For the purpose of calculating the rates in 9.2 and 9.3, wages shall be calculated each quarter on the basis of the average actually received by the adult employees during each of the weeks that 38 hours were worked during the previous quarter. The wage rates shall be recalculated on 1 November, 1 February, 1 May, 1 August each year or over some other consistent pattern each quarter which will not disadvantage the employees concerned. The new wage rates so determined shall operate from the beginning of the first pay to commence on or after the date the recalculation is to be made.
9.4.2 For the purpose of calculating the rates in 9.2 and 9.3, overtime payments and all allowances, loadings and penalty payments provided for under Part I shall be excluded.
9.4.3 An employee covered under Part V may check the relevant payroll record/s, should he/she wish to, to ensure that the wage rate has been correctly calculated.

[Pt V:9.5 inserted by R7070; substituted by S6783 PR918228 PR932048 PR947308; PR959867 ppc 07Jun05]
The rates of pay in this award include the arbitrated safety net adjustment payable under the Safety Net Review—Wages June 2005 decision [PR002005]. This arbitrated safety net adjustment may be offset against any equivalent amount in rates of pay received by employees whose wages and conditions of employment are regulated by this award which are above the wage rates prescribed in the award. Such above-award payments include wages payable pursuant to certified agreements, currently operating enterprise flexibility agreements, Australian workplace agreements, award variations to give effect to enterprise agreements and overaward arrangements. Absorption which is contrary to the terms of an agreement is not required.
Increases made under previous National Wage Case principles or under the current Statement of Principles, excepting those resulting from enterprise agreements, are not to be used to offset arbitrated safety net adjustments.
