19.5 Arbitrated safety net adjustment

The rates of pay in this award include the arbitrated safety net adjustment payable under the Safety Net Review - Wages May 2003 decision [PR002003]. 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.

19.6 The wages in this award reflect the value that has been given to the difference between the terms and conditions of employment in this award and the safety net of arbitrated terms and conditions of employment found in relevant industry awards.
