DECISION

Fair Work Act 2009
s.160 - Application to vary a modern award to remove ambiguity or uncertainty or correct error

Application by Australian Payroll Association
(AM2021/66)

Application to vary a modern award to remove ambiguity or uncertainty or to correct error – General Retail Industry Award 2020 – clause 11– minimum engagement for casual employees – determination issued.

[1] On 4 November 2021 I issued a decision 1 that the General Retail Industry Award 2020 should be varied. I expressed a provisional view that the variation should be to delete the existing clause 11.2 and replace it with the following:

11.2 The minimum daily engagement of a casual employee is 3 hours, or 1.5 hours’ in the circumstances set out in clause 11.3.

[2] I invited any party wishing to make submissions on my provisional view to do so by Wednesday 17 November 2021 and that if no objections were received, I would issue a determination varying the 2020 Award as indicated.

[3] No objections were received to my provisions view. Therefore a determination 2 will be issued varying the 2020 Award as proposed.
