Provided further, that if the additional rates would have entitled him to a lesser amount than the loading of 17 1/2 per cent, then such loading of 17 1/2 per cent shall be added to his ordinary rate of wage in lieu of the additional rates. The loading prescribed by this subclause shall not apply to proportionate leave on termination.

(iv) any absence with reasonable cause proof whereof shall be upon the worker but in such a case the worker shall inform the employer in writing, if practicable, within seven days of the commencement of such absence of the nature of the cause.
(b) Any absence from work by reason of any cause not being a cause specified in paragraph (a) hereof shall not be deemed to break the continuity of service for the purposes of this clause unless the employer during the absence or within fourteen days of the termination of the absence notifies the worker in writing that such absence will be regarded as having broken the continuity of service.
Such notice may be given to a worker by delivering it to him personally or by posting it to his last known address in which case it shall be deemed to have reached the worker in due course of post or, where a number of workers are absent from work, by posting up of a notification in the employers establishment.
(c) An absence from duty referred to in this subclause shall not, except as provided in subclause (4) of this clause, be taken into account in calculating the period of twelve month's continuous service.

(8) By arrangement between the employer and the worker annual leave may be allowed to accumulate from year to year but where the leave to which a worker is entitled or any portion thereof is allowed to accumulate to meet the convenience of the worker the ordinary wage for that leave shall be the ordinary wage applicable to the worker at the date at which he became entitled to the leave unless the employer agrees in writing that the wage be that applicable at the date the leave commences.
(9) (a) An employer and employee may agree, in writing, that annual leave prescribed by this clause may be given and taken before the completion of 12 months continuous service as prescribed by subclause (1) of this clause.
(b) If the service of an employee terminates and the employee has taken a period of leave in accordance with this subclause and if the period of leave so taken exceeds that which would become due pursuant to subclause (6) of this clause the employee shall be liable to pay the amount representing the difference between the amount received by him/her for the period of leave taken in accordance with this subclause and the amount that would have accrued in accordance with subclause (6) of this clause.

June 2004 and 7 July 2005 respectively]
(2) Arbitrated Safety Net Adjustments
The rates of pay in this award include arbitrated safety net adjustments available since December 1993, under the Arbitrated Safety Net Adjustment Principle.
These arbitrated safety net adjustments may be offset against any equivalent amount in the rate of pay received by employees since 1 November 1991 above the rate prescribed in the Award, except where such absorption is contrary to the terms of an industrial agreement.
Increases in rates of pay otherwise made under the State Wage Case Principles, excepting those resulting from enterprise agreements, are not to be used to offset arbitrated safety net adjustments.
(3) Service Pay
An employee classified as a Level 1 and who prior to 21 February 2001 was paid ‘service pay’ under the award shall continue to receive that same ‘service pay’ amount whilst employed as a Level 1 employee by that employer. The ‘service pay’ amount shall not be increased or absorbed into other payments at any time.
At any time after July 2003, any party may make an application to remove this sub-clause. Further, the existence of this sub-clause and the payment of the ‘service pay’ amount does not prejudice any such application.
21A. - MINIMUM ADULT AWARD WAGE
(1) No adult employee shall be paid less than the Minimum Adult Award Wage unless otherwise provided by this clause.
(2) The Minimum Adult Award Wage for full time adult employees is $484.40 per week payable on and from 7th July 2005.
(3) The Minimum Adult Award Wage of $484.40 per week is deemed to include all arbitrated safety net adjustments from State Wage Case decisions.
(4) Unless otherwise provided in this clause adults employed as casuals, part time employees or pieceworkers or employees who are remunerated wholly on the basis of payment by result shall not be paid less than pro rata the Minimum Adult Award Wage according to the hours worked.
(5) Juniors shall be paid no less than the wage determined by applying the percentage prescribed in the junior rates provision in this award to the Minimum Adult Award Wage of $484.40 per week.
(6) (a) The Minimum Adult Award Wage shall not apply to apprentices, employees engaged on traineeships or Jobskill placements or employed under the Commonwealth Government Supported Wage System or to other categories of employees who by prescription are paid less than the minimum award rate.
(b) Liberty to apply is reserved in relation to any special categories of employees not included here or otherwise in relation to the application of the Minimum Adult Award Wage.
(7) Subject to this clause the Minimum Adult Award Wage shall -
(a) apply to all work in ordinary hours.
(b) apply to the calculation of overtime and all other penalty rates, superannuation, payments during any period of paid leave and for all purposes of this award.
(8) Minimum Adult Award Wage
The rates of pay in this award include the minimum weekly wage for adult employees payable under the 2005 State Wage Case Decision. Any increase arising from the insertion of the minimum adult award wage will 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 enterprise agreements, consent awards or award variations to give effect to enterprise agreements and over award arrangements. Absorption which is contrary to the terms of an agreement is not required.
Increases under previous State Wage Case Principles or under the current Statement of Principles, excepting those resulting from enterprise agreements, are not to be used to offset the minimum adult award wage.
(9) Adult Apprentices
(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of this clause, an apprentice, 21 years of age or over, shall not be paid less than $406.70 per week.
(b) The rate paid in paragraph (a) above is payable on superannuation and during any period of paid leave prescribed by this Award.
(c) Where in this award an additional rate is expressed as a percentage, fraction or multiple of the ordinary rate of pay, it shall be calculated upon the rate prescribed in this award for the actual year of apprenticeship.
(d) Nothing in this clause shall operate to reduce the rate of pay fixed by this award for an adult apprentice in force immediately prior to 5th June 2003.
21B. - TRANSLATION OF FULL TIME AND PART TIME EMPLOYEES
(1) This clause sets out the procedure to be followed to translate full-time and part-time employees from the classification and wages in this award prior to 21 February 2001 to the new classification and wages structure that will have effect from 1 July 2001.
(2) This clause is intended to minimize the potential for disputes between an employer and an employee on the translation and implementation of the new classification and wage structure. The clause does not diminish the employer’s obligation to properly classify and pay an employee in accordance with the new classification and wage structure from 1 July 2001 and an employer and an employee cannot contract out of the provisions of this award.
(3) From 21 February 2001 an employee previously classified in a classification of work shown in Column A of the Table in sub-clause (4) below shall be reclassified to the classification shown immediately opposite in Column B. Provided that an employee previously classified Bar Attendant 2 shall be reclassified to Food and Beverage 3 where that employee's duties include the mixing of a range of sophisticated drinks or duties as defined in sub-clause (3) of Clause 6. – Definitions of this award.

(ii) taken by the employee and the employee's partner immediately after a child has been placed with them with a view to their adoption of the child.
(d) The entitlement to parental leave is reduced by any period of parental leave taken by the employee's partner in relation to the same child, except the period of one week's leave referred to in paragraph (c) of this subclause.
(5) Maternity leave to start 6 weeks before birth
A female employee who is pregnant and who has given notice of her intention to take parental leave is to start the leave 6 weeks before the expected date of birth, unless in respect of any period closer to the expected date of birth a medical practitioner has certified that the employee is fit to work.
(6) Medical certificate
An employee who has given notice of the employee's intention to take parental leave, other than for adoption, is to provide to the employer a certificate from a medical practitioner stating that the employee or the employee's partner, as the case may be, is pregnant and the expected date of birth.
(7) Notice of partner’s parental leave

(i) applicable discrimination legislation;
(ii) the requirements of the employee;
(iii) the operational needs of the employer; and
(iv) any other relevant matter.
(10) Effect of parental leave on employment
Absence on parental leave -

(b) is not to be taken into account when calculating the period of service for the purpose of this award.
(11) Sick Leave
Where an employee not then on maternity leave suffers an illness related to her pregnancy, she may take such paid sick leave as to which she is then entitled and such further unpaid leave (to be know as special maternity leave) as a duly qualified medical practitioner certifies as necessary before her return to work, provided that the aggregate of paid sick leave, special maternity leave and maternity leave shall not exceed 52 weeks.
(12) Transfer to a Safe-Job
Where in the opinion of a duly qualified medical practitioner, illness or risks arising out of the pregnancy or hazards connected with the work assigned to the employee make it inadvisable for the employee to continue at her present work, the employee shall, if the employer deems it practicable, be transferred to a safe job at the rate and on the conditions attaching to that job until the commencement of parental leave.
If the transfer to a safe job is not practicable, the employee may, or the employer may require the employee to take leave for such period as is certified necessary by a duly qualified medical practitioner. Such leave shall be treated as maternity leave for the purposes of this clause.
(13) Variation of Period of Parental Leave
(a) Provided the addition does not extend the parental leave beyond 52 weeks, the period may be lengthened once only, save with the agreement of the employer, by the employee giving not less than 14 days' notice in writing stating the period by which the leave is to be lengthened.
(b) The period of leave may, with the consent of the employer, be shortened by the employee giving not less than 14 days' notice in writing stating the period by which the leave is to be shortened.
(14) Cancellation of Parental Leave
(a) Parental leave, applied for but not commenced, shall be cancelled when the pregnancy of an employee or the employee’s partner, as the case may be, terminates other than by the birth of a living child.
(b) Where the pregnancy of an employee or an employee’s partner, as the case may be, then on parental leave terminates other than by the birth of a living child, it shall be right of the employee to resume work at a time nominated by the employer which shall not exceed four weeks from the date of notice in writing by the employee to the employer that the employee desires to resume work.
(15) Special Maternity Leave
(a) Where the pregnancy of a female employee not then on parental leave terminates after 28 weeks other than by the birth of a living child then:
(i) she shall be entitled to such period of unpaid leave (to be known as special maternity leave) as a duly qualified medical practitioner certifies as necessary before her return to work; or
(ii) for illness other than the normal consequences of confinement she shall be entitled, either in lieu of or in addition to special maternity leave, to such paid sick leave as to which she is then entitled and which a duly qualified medical practitioner certifies as necessary before her return to work.
(b) For the purposes of subclauses (10), (16) and (17) hereof, maternity leave shall include special maternity leave.
(c) An employee returning to work after the completion of a period of leave taken pursuant to this subclause shall be entitled to the position which she held immediately before proceeding on such leave or, in the case of an employee who was transferred to a safe job pursuant to subclause (12), to the position the employee held immediately before such transfer.
Where such position no longer exists but there are other positions available, for which the employee is qualified and the duties of which the employee is capable of performing, the employee shall be entitled to a position as nearly comparable in status and salary or wage to that of the employee’s former position.
(16) Parental Leave and Other Leave Entitlements
Provided the aggregate of leave including leave taken pursuant to subclauses (12) and (15) hereof does not exceed 52 weeks:

(b) An employer shall not terminate the employment of an employee on the ground of the employee’s absence on maternity leave or, in the case of a female employee, her pregnancy, but otherwise the rights of an employer in relation to termination of employment are not hereby affected.
(18) Replacement Employees
(a) A replacement employee is an employee specifically engaged as a result of an employee proceeding on parental leave.
(b) Before an employer engages a replacement employee under this subclause, the employer shall inform that person of the temporary nature of the employment and of the rights of the employee who is being replaced.
(c) Before an employer engages a person to replace an employee temporarily promoted or transferred in order to replace an employee exercising rights under this clause, the employer shall inform that person of the temporary nature of the promotion or transfer and of the rights of the employee who is being replaced.

from time to time) apply to this award provided the following clauses and
Schedules are excluded –
(1) Employers and employees covered by this award may negotiate and reach agreement to apply to vary any provision of this award so as to make the enterprise or workplace operate more efficiently according to its particular needs.
(2) Employees may seek advice from, or be represented by, the union during the negotiations for an agreement.
(3) Where agreement is reached at an enterprise or workplace and where giving effect to such agreement requires this award, as it applies at the enterprise or workplace, to be varied, an application to vary the award shall be made to the Commission.
(4) A copy of the agreement shall be made available in writing to all employees at the enterprise or workplace and to the union party to this award.
(5) The union shall not unreasonably oppose the application to vary the award to give effect to the terms of the agreement.
(6) When this award is varied to give effect to an agreement made pursuant to this clause the variation shall become a schedule to this award and the variation shall take precedence over any provision of this award to the extent of any expressly identified inconsistency.
(7) The agreement must meet the following requirements to enable the Commission to vary this award to give effect to it:
(a) that the purpose of the agreement is to make the enterprise or workplace operate more efficiently according to its particular needs;
(b) that the majority of employees covered by the agreement genuinely agree to it;
(c) where the union has members at the enterprise or workplace, the union has been given reasonable advice of the intention to negotiate an agreement, provided that this paragraph shall not apply where the employer could not reasonably be expected to have known the union has members at the enterprise or workplace;
(d) that the award variation necessitated by the agreement does not in relation to their terms and conditions of employment, disadvantage the employees who would be affected by the variation.
(8) For the purposes of subclause (7) hereof, an agreement is taken to disadvantage employees in relation to their terms and conditions of employment only if:
(a) it would result in the reduction of any entitlements or protection of those employees under:
(i) the award; or
(ii) any other law of the Commonwealth or State that the Commission thinks relevant; and
(b) in the context of their terms and conditions of employment considered as a whole, the Commission considers that the reduction is contrary to the public interest.

authorised representative of the union shall be entitled to exercise right of
entry in accordance with the provisions of the Industrial Relations Act 1979 or

(2) Job Search entitlement
(a) During the period of notice of termination given by the employer an employee shall be allowed up to one day’s time off without loss of pay during each week of notice for the purpose of seeking other employment. The time off shall be taken at times that are convenient to the employee after consultation with the employer.
(b) If the employee has been allowed paid leave for more than one day during the notice period for the purpose of seeking other employment, the employee shall, at the request of the employer, be required to produce proof of attendance at an interview or he or she shall not receive payment for the time absent. For this purpose a statutory declaration will be sufficient.
(3) Introduction of Change - Employer’s Duty to Notify
(a) Where an employer decides to introduce changes in production, program, organisation, structure or technology, that are likely to have significant effects on employees, the employer shall notify the employees who may be affected by the proposed changes and, if an employee nominates a union to represent him or her, the union nominated by the employee.
(b) “Significant effects” includes termination of employment, major changes in the composition, operation or size of the employer’s workforce or in the skills required; the elimination or diminution of a job opportunity, a promotion opportunity or job tenure; the alteration of hours of work; the need for retraining or transfer of employees to other work or locations and the restructuring of jobs.
(4) Employer’s Duty to Consult over Change
(a) The employer shall consult the employees affected and, if an employee nominates a union to represent him or her, the union nominated by the employee, about the introduction of the changes, the effects the changes are likely to have on employees (including the number and categories of employees likely to be dismissed, and the time when, or the period over which, the employer intends to carry out the dismissals), and the ways to avoid or minimise the effects of the changes (e.g. by finding alternate employment).
(b) The consultation shall commence as soon as practicable after making the decision referred to in the “Employer’s Duty to Notify” clause.
(c) For the purpose of such consultation the employer shall provide in writing to the employees concerned and, if an employee nominates a union to represent him or her, the union nominated by the employee, all relevant information about the changes including the nature of the changes proposed, the expected effects of the changes on employees, and any other matters likely to affect employees, provided that any employer shall not be required to disclose confidential information, the disclosure of which would be adverse to the employer’s interests.
(5) Redundancy
(a) Definitions
Business includes trade, process, business or occupation and includes part of any such business.
Redundancy occurs where an employer has made a definite decision that the employer no longer wishes the job the employee has been doing done by anyone.
Transmission includes transfer, conveyance, assignment or succession whether by agreement or by operation of law and “transmitted” has a corresponding meaning.
Weeks’ pay means the ordinary time rate of pay for the employee concerned. Provided that such rate shall exclude:
(i) overtime;
(ii) penalty rates;
(iii) disability allowances;
(iv) shift allowances;
(v) special rates;

(vii) bonuses; and
(viii) any other ancillary payments of a like nature.
(b) Consultation Before Terminations
(i) Where an employer decides that the employer no longer wishes the job the employee has been doing to be done by anyone and that decision may lead to termination of employment, the employer shall consult the employee directly affected and if an employee nominates a union to represent him or her, the union nominated by the employee.
(ii) The consultation shall take place as soon as is practicable after the employer has made a decision to which subclause (5)(b)(i) applies and shall cover the reasons for the proposed terminations, measures to avoid or minimise the terminations and/or their adverse affects on the employees concerned.
(iii) For the purpose of the consultation the employer shall, as soon as practicable, provide in writing to the employees concerned and if an employee nominates a union to represent him or her, the union nominated by the employee, all relevant information about the proposed terminations including the reasons for the proposed terminations, the number and categories of employees likely to be affected, the number of employees normally employed and the period over which the terminations are likely to be carried out. Provided that an employer shall not be required to disclose confidential information, the disclosure of which would be adverse to the employer’s interests.
(c) Transfer to lower paid duties
(i) Where an employee is transferred to lower paid duties by reason of redundancy the employee shall be entitled to the same period of notice of transfer as the employee would have been entitled to if the employee’s employment had been terminated.
(ii) The employer may, at the employer’s option, make payment in lieu thereof of an amount equal to the difference between the former amounts the employer would have been liable to pay and the new lower amount the employer is liable to pay the employee for the number of weeks of notice still owing.
(iii) The amounts must be worked out on the basis of:
(aa) the ordinary working hours to be worked by the employee; and
(bb) the amounts payable to the employee for the hours including for example,allowances, loading and penalties; and
(cc) any other amounts payable under the employee’s contract of employment.
(d) Severance Pay
(i) In addition to the period of notice prescribed for ordinary termination, an employee whose employment is terminated by reason of redundancy must be paid, subject to further order of the Commission, the following amount of severance pay in respect of a continuous period of service: Provided that the entitlement of any employee whose employment terminates on or before 1 February 2006 shall not exceed 8 weeks’ pay.

(ii) Provided that the severance payments shall not exceed the amount which the employee would have earned if employment with the employer had proceeded to the employee’s normal retirement date.
(iii) For the purpose of this clause continuity of service shall not be broken on account of -
(aa) any interruption or termination of the employment by the employer if such interruption or termination has been made merely with the intention of avoiding the obligations of this clause in respect of leave of absence;
(bb) any absence from work on account of leave granted by the employer; or
(cc) any absence with reasonable cause, proof whereof shall be upon the employee;
Provided that in the calculation of continuous service any time in respect of which any employee is absent from work except time for which an employee is entitled to claim paid leave shall not count as time worked.
Service by the employee with a business which has been transmitted from one employer to another and the employee’s service has been deemed continuous in accordance with clause 2(3) or (4) of the Long Service Leave Provisions published in Part 1 (January) of each volume of the Western Australian Industrial Gazette shall also constitute continuous service for the purpose of this clause.
(e) Employee leaving during notice period
An employee whose employment is terminated by reason of redundancy may terminate his/her employment during the period of notice and, if so, will be entitled to the same benefits and payments under this clause had they remained with the employer until the expiry of such notice. However, in this circumstance the employee will not be entitled to payment in lieu of notice.
(f) Alternative employment
(i) An employer, in a particular redundancy case, may make application to the Commission to have the severance payment prescribed varied if the employer obtains acceptable alternative employment for an employee.
(ii) This subclause does not apply in circumstances involving transmission of business as set out in subclause (5)(g).
(g) Transmission of business
(i) The provisions of subclause (5) are not applicable where a business is before or after the date of this order, transmitted from an employer (in this subclause called “the transmittor”) to another employer (in this subclause called “the transmittee”), in any of the following circumstances:
(aa) Where the employee accepts employment with the transmittee which recognises the period of continuous service which the employee had with the transmittor and any prior transmittor to be continuous service of the employee with the transmittee; or
(bb) Where the employee rejects an offer of employment with the transmittee:
(A) in which the terms and conditions are substantially similar and no less favourable, considered on an overall basis, than the terms and conditions applicable to the employee at the time of ceasing employment with the transmittor; and
(B) which recognises the period of continuous service which the employee had with the transmittor and any prior transmittor to be continuous service with the transmittee.
(ii) The Commission may vary subclause 5(g)(i)(bb) if it is satisfied that this provision would operate unfairly in a particular case.
(h) Notice to Centrelink
Where a decision has been made to terminate employees in the circumstances outlined in the “Consultation Before Terminations” clause, the employer shall notify Centrelink as soon as possible giving all relevant information about the proposed terminations, including a written statement of the reasons for the terminations, the number and categories of the employees likely to be affected, the number of employees normally employed and the period over which the terminations are intended to be carried out.
(i) Employees exempted
This clause does not apply:
(i) Where employment is terminated as a consequence of serious misconduct that justifies dismissal without notice.
(ii) Except for subclause (5)(b), to employees with less than one year’s service.
(iii) Except for subclause (5)(b), to probationary employees.
(iv) To apprentices.
(v) To trainees.
(vi) Except for subclause (5)(b), to employees engaged for a specific period of time or for a specified task or tasks; or
(vii) To casual employees.
(j) Employers Exempted
Subject to an order of the Commission, in a particular redundancy case, subclause (5)(d) shall not apply to employers who employ less than 15 employees.
(k) Incapacity to pay
An employer or a group of employers, in a particular redundancy case, may make application to the Commission to have the severance payment prescribed varied on the basis of the employer’s incapacity to pay.
(1) It is the intention of the respondents to this award to respect and value the diversity of the work force by helping to prevent and eliminate discrimination on the basis of race, colour, sex, sexual preference, age, physical or mental disability, marital status, family responsibilities, pregnancy, religion, political opinion, natural extraction or social origin.
(2) Accordingly, in fulfilling their obligations under the dispute avoidance and settling clause, the respondents must make every endeavour to ensure that neither the award provisions nor their operation are directly or indirectly discriminatory in their effects.
(3) Nothing in this clause is taken to affect:
(a) any different treatment (or treatment having different effects) which is specifically exempted under the State or Commonwealth anti-discrimination legislation;
(b) junior rates of pay;
(c) an employee, employer or registered organisation, pursuing matters of discrimination in any State or federal jurisdiction, including by application to the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission;
(d) a reason for terminating employment if the reason is based on the inherent requirements of the particular position concerned; or
(e) a reason for terminating a person's employment as a member of the staff of an institution that is conducted in accordance with the doctrines, tenets, beliefs or teachings of a particular religion or creed, if the employer terminates the employment in good faith to avoid injury to the religious susceptibilities of adherents of that religion or creed.
