18.1.2 Except as provided in 18.1.3 of this clause, an employee who has:

18.1.2(a) a dependant shall be paid double the allowance prescribed in 18.1.1 of this clause;

18.1.2(b) a partial dependant shall be paid the allowance prescribed in 18.1.1 of this clause plus the difference between that rate and the amount such partial dependant is receiving by way of a district or location allowance.

18.1.3 Where an employee:

18.1.3(a) is provided with board and lodging by his/her employer, free of charge; or

18.1.3(b) is provided with an allowance in lieu of board and lodging by virtue of the award or an order or agreement made pursuant to the Act;

such employee shall be paid 66-2/3% of the allowances prescribed in 18.1.1 of this clause.

18.1.4 Subject to 18.1.2 of this clause, junior employees, casual employees, part-time employees, apprentices receiving less than adult rate and employees employed for less than a full week shall receive that proportion of the location allowance as equates with the proportion that their wage for ordinary hours that week is to the adult rate for the work performed.

18.1.5 Where an employee is on annual leave or receives payment in lieu of annual leave he/she shall be paid for the period of such leave the location allowance to which he/she would ordinarily be entitled.

18.1.6 Where an employee is on long service leave or other approved leave with pay (other than annual leave) he/she shall only be paid location allowance for the period of such leave he/she remains in the location in which he/she is employed.

18.1.7 For the purposes of this clause:

18.1.7(a) Dependant shall mean:

18.1.7(a)(i) a spouse or de facto spouse; or

18.1.7(a)(ii) a child where there is no spouse or de facto spouse; who does not receive a district or location allowance.

18.1.7(b) Partial dependant shall mean a dependant as prescribed in 18.1.7(a) who receives a district or location allowance which is less than the location allowance prescribed in 18.1.1 of this clause.

18.1.8 Where an employee is employed in a town or location not specified in this clause the allowance payable for the purpose of 18.1.1 of this clause shall be such amount as may be agreed between Australian Mines and Metals Association, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Western Australia and the Trades and Labor Council of Western Australia or, failing such agreement, as may be determined by the Australian Industrial Relations Commission. Provided that, pending any such agreement or determination, the allowance payable for that purpose shall be an amount equivalent to the lowest district allowance in force under this award for the nearest town or location specified in this clause.

18.1.9 That part of each location allowance representing prices shall be varied from the beginning of the first pay period commencing on or after the first day in July of each year in accordance with the annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (excluding housing), for Perth measured to the end of the immediately preceding March quarter, the calculation to be taken to the nearest ten cents.

18.1.10 The allowance prescribed for Argyle is equated to that at Kununurra as an interim allowance. Liberty is reserved to the parties to apply for a review of the allowance for Argyle in the light of changed circumstances occurring after the date of this award.
