4 yearly review of modern awards
(AM2019/17)

JUSTICE ROSS, PRESIDENT
DEPUTY PRESIDENT CLANCY
COMMISSIONER BISSETT

MELBOURNE 12 JUNE 2020

4 yearly review of modern awards – residual amendment – reference to the Miscellaneous Award 2010.

[1] This decision deals with the reference to the Miscellaneous Award 2010 that appears in the National Training Wage clause in 83 modern awards. 1 A list of these awards is set out Attachment A.

[2] During the 4 yearly review of modern awards, a Full Bench of the Commission determined that the National Training Wage Schedule would be:

  standardised and removed from all awards except the Miscellaneous Award 2010, and

  incorporated back into all other awards by reference to the Miscellaneous Award 2010. 2

[3] An example of the term incorporating the National Training Wage by reference to the Miscellaneous Award is set out below (from the Clerks–Private Sector Award 2020);

16.6 National training wage

(a) Schedule E to the Miscellaneous Award 2010 sets out minimum wage rates and conditions for employees undertaking traineeships.

(b) This award incorporates the terms of Schedule E to the Miscellaneous Award 2010 as at 1 July 2019. For that purpose, any reference to “this award” in Schedule E to the Miscellaneous Award 2010 is to be read as referring to the Clerks—Private Sector Award 2020 and not the Miscellaneous Award 2010.

[4] In our decision issued on 27 April 2020 3, we resolved all of the remaining technical and drafting matters in the Miscellaneous Award exposure draft and we subsequently issued a variation determination on 30 April 2020 giving effect to the 27 April 2020 decision. The variation determination comes into operation from 18 June 2020 and renames the Miscellaneous Award 2010 as the Miscellaneous Award 2020.

[5] Accordingly, each of the cross references to the Miscellaneous Award 2010 in the 83 modern awards at Attachment A will be amended to refer to the Miscellaneous Award 2020. A determination giving effect to this decision is attached.
