11A.1.2 In addition to the notice in 11A.1.1, employees over 45 years of age at the time of the giving of the notice with not less than two years continuous service, are entitled to an additional week’s notice.

11A.1.3 Payment in lieu of the prescribed notice in 11A.1.1 and 11A.1.2 must be made if the appropriate notice period is not required to be worked. Provided that employment may be terminated by the employee working part of the required period of notice and by the employer making payment for the remainder of the period of notice.

11A.1.4 The required amount of payment in lieu of notice must equal or exceed the total of all amounts that, if the employee’s employment had continued until the end of the required period of notice, the employer would have become liable to pay to the employee because of the employment continuing during that period. That total must be calculated on the basis of:

11A.1.4(a) the employee’s ordinary hours of work (even if not standard hours); and

11A.1.4(b) the amounts ordinarily payable to the employee in respect of those hours, including (for example) allowances, loading and penalties; and

11A.2.2 If an employee fails to give the notice specified in 11A.1.1 the employer has the right to withhold monies due to the employee to a maximum amount equal to the amount the employee would have received under 11A.1.4.

11A.3 Job search entitlement

Where an employer has given notice of termination to an employee, an employee shall be allowed up to one day’s time off without loss of pay 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.

Where a business is transmitted from one employer to another, as set out in clause 11B - Redundancy, the period of continuous service that the employee had with the transmittor or any prior transmittor is deemed to be service with the transmittee and taken into account when calculating notice of termination. However, an employee shall not be entitled to notice of termination or payment in lieu of notice for any period of continuous service in respect of which notice has already been given or paid for.

11B.1 Definitions

11B.1.1 Business includes trade, process, business or occupation and includes part of any such business.

11B.1.2 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 and that decision leads to the termination of employment of the employee, except where this is due to the ordinary and customary turnover of labour.

11B.1.3 Small employer means an employer who employs fewer than 15 employees.

11B.1.4 Transmission includes transfer, conveyance, assignment or succession whether by agreement or by operation of law and transmitted has a corresponding meaning.

disability allowances;

shift allowances;

special rates;

fares and travelling time allowances;

any other ancillary payments of a like nature.

11B.2 Transfer to lower paid duties

Where an employee is transferred to lower paid duties by reason of redundancy the same period of notice must be given as the employee would have been entitled to if the employment had been terminated and the employer may at the employer’s option, make payment in lieu thereof of an amount equal to the difference between the former ordinary rate of pay and the new ordinary time rate for the number of weeks of notice still owing.

11B.3 Severance pay

11B.3.1 Severance pay – other than employees of a small employer

An employee, other than an employee of a small employer as defined in 11B.1, whose employment is terminated by reason of redundancy is entitled to the following amount of severance pay in respect of a period of continuous service:

11B.3.3 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.

11B.3.4 Continuity of service shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by clause 35 - Long Service Leave. Provided that service prior to 13 July 2004 shall not be taken into account in calculating an entitlement to severance pay for an employee of a small employer pursuant to 11B.3.2.

11B.3.5 Application may be made for variation of the severance pay provided for in this clause in a particular redundancy situation in accordance with the Redundancy Case Decision [PR032004, 26 March 2004] and the Redundancy Case Supplementary Decision [PR062004, 8 June 2004].

11B.4 Employee leaving during notice period

An employee given notice of termination in circumstances of redundancy may terminate his/her employment during the period of notice set out in clause 11A - Notice of Termination. In this circumstance the employee will be entitled to receive the benefits and payments they would have received under this clause had they remained with the employer until the expiry of the notice, but will not be entitled to payment in lieu of notice.

11B.5 Alternative employment

11B.5.1 An employer, in a particular redundancy case, may make application to the Commission to have the general severance pay prescription varied if the employer obtains acceptable alternative employment for an employee.

11B.5.2 This provision does not apply in circumstances involving transmission of business as set in 11B.7.

11B.6 Job search entitlement

11B.6.1 During the period of notice of termination given by the employer in accordance with 11A.1, 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.

11B.6.2 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.

11B.6.3 The job search entitlements under this subclause apply in lieu of the provisions of 11A.3.

11B.7 Transmission of business

11B.7.1 The provisions of this clause are not applicable where a business is before or after the date of this award, 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:

11B.7.1(a) 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

11B.7.1(b) Where the employee rejects an offer of employment with the transmittee:

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

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.

11B.7.2 The Commission may vary 11B.7.1(b) if it is satisfied that this provision would operate unfairly in a particular case.

11B.8 Employees exempted

[11B.8 substituted by PR954114 ppc 01Dec04]

11C REDUNDANCY DISPUTES

[11C inserted by PR949556 ppc 13Jul04]

11C.1 Paragraphs 11C.2 and 11C.3 impose additional obligations on an employer where an employer contemplates termination of employment due to redundancy and a dispute arises (a redundancy dispute). These additional obligations do not apply to employers who employ fewer than 15 employees.

the reasons for any proposed redundancy;

the number and categories of workers likely to be affected; and

the period over which any proposed redundancies are intended to be carried out.

11C.3 Where a redundancy dispute arises and discussions occur in accordance with this clause the employer will, as early as possible, consult on measures taken to avert or to minimise any proposed redundancies and measures to mitigate the adverse affects of any proposed redundancies on the employees concerned.

DECLARATION - VICTORIA

[Common Rule declared by PR953224 from 01Jan05]

Further to the Decision issued by the Commission on 18 November 2004 [PR953309] and pursuant to ss.141 and 493A of the Workplace Relations Act 1996 (the Act), the Commission makes the following declaration for a common rule award:

1. In this Declaration:

1.1 the award means the Social and Community Services – Victoria – Award 2000, as varied from time to time;

1.2 employees means employees in the industry who perform work of a kind that is covered by the award;

1.3 employers means employers who employ employees;

1.4 the industry means the social and community services industry including persons employed in the occupation of social worker, recreation worker, welfare worker, youth worker and/or community development worker.

2. That save for and subject to the matters referred to in clauses 4 to 7 below, the whole of the terms of the award, as varied from time to time, except those specified in clause 3 below, shall be:

2.1 a common rule for the industry in Victoria and known as the Social and Community Services Victorian Common Rule Declaration 2005;

2.2 binding on all employers in respect of the employment by them of employees;

2.3 binding on all employees; and

2.4 binding on the Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union and the registered organisations respondent to the award.

3. The following clauses of the award are not included in the Social and Community Services Victorian Common Rule Declaration 2005:

3.1 Clause 4 - Date of operation; and

3.2 Clause 3.1 - Parties bound.

4. Subject to 4.1 to 4.5 below, all provisions in the Social and Community Services Victorian Common Rule Declaration 2005 are to operate from 1 January 2005.

4.1 With respect to annual leave, only periods of annual leave commencing on or after 31 January 2005 attract leave loading.

4.2 With respect to redundancy payments for employees of employers who have 15 employees or more, only service on or after 1 January 2004 is to be taken into account for the purpose of calculating service.

4.3 Any accident make-up pay clause is to apply in relation to any injury on or after 3 August 2004.

4.4 The wages clauses (including all allowances and penalty payments) are to commence operation from the first pay period on or after Monday, 3 January 2005 provided that in all cases the wages clauses commence operation no later than 5 January 2005.

5. The Social and Community Services Victorian Common Rule Declaration 2005 shall not apply to employers respondent by any means to any other award of the Commission in respect of the employment by them of employees covered by that award.

6. This declaration shall not apply to a person with a disability who is eligible for a Disability Support Pension and who is employed by a supported employment service that receives funding under the Disability Services Act 1986 (Cth) to provide support for that person. [See Note 1 below.]

7. An employer who is making superannuation contributions into a complying superannuation fund, within the meaning of the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (Cth), on behalf of an employee covered by this declaration, prior to the date of effect of this declaration is exempt from any provision in the award which specifies the fund or funds into which superannuation contributions are to be paid. [See Note 2 below.]

8. In the event of a dispute about the entitlement of an employer to set-off entitlements and benefits provided under a contract of employment made prior to the date of this declaration against entitlements and benefits required to be provided under the Social and Community Services Victorian Common Rule Declaration 2005, the matter may be referred to a Board of Reference consisting of a Member of the Commission which shall determine whether or not such a set-off should be permitted having regard to what is fair and equitable in all the circumstances of the case, without regard to technicalities and legal forms.

8.1 An appeal lies from a decision of a Board of Reference to a Full Bench of the Commission.

8.2 This clause shall apply for a period of twelve months from the commencement date of the Social and Community Services Victorian Common Rule Declaration 2005.

8.3 Any registered organisation bound by the terms of the Social and Community Services Victorian Common Rule Declaration 2005 shall be notified of the time and date of hearing in relation to any application made pursuant to this provision.

9. Nothing in this declaration reduces or in any way detracts from any accrued rights to any forms of leave including sick leave, annual leave, long service leave or parental leave to which employees or any of them have become entitled by accrual or otherwise prior to the commencement date in clause 10 below.

10. This declaration shall be an award of the Commission, shall come into force on 1 January 2005 and shall remain in force for a period of three months and thereafter in accordance with the Act. [See Note 3 below.]

Note 1

1. Disability Support Pension means the Commonwealth pension scheme to provide income security for persons with a disability as provided for under the Social Security Act 1991 (Cth), as amended from time to time, or any successor to that scheme.

2. The intention of this provision is limited to preventing the award from applying to sheltered workshops (i.e. supported employment services) - it does not prevent the award from applying to employees with disabilities in open employment.

3. Leave is reserved for any party to have this issue reconsidered in the light of any developments in the national process which is currently considering workplace relations issues for sheltered workshops. This national process includes the Disability Sector National Industry Consultative Council and any related applications that seek award coverage for sheltered workshops.

Note 2

1. The purpose of the exception above is to maintain the status quo in respect of employers who, as at the date of effect of the common rule declaration, are making superannuation contributions into a complying superannuation fund. These employers will not be required to change their existing arrangements. Nor will there be any requirement for the existing arrangements to be the subject of an agreement between the employer and employees. For the avoidance of doubt, the exception continues to apply to employers who are making superannuation contributions to complying superannuation funds which are successor funds (as defined in Regulation 1.03 of the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Regulations 1994 (Cth), or as amended or replaced by other legislation) into which benefits are transferred, after the date of effect of the common rule declaration, in accordance with the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (Cth) and the Regulations thereunder. Further, "existing arrangements" includes the making of contributions to such funds.

2. The exception is in respect of current and future employees of the employers who are entitled to the benefit of the exemption.

3. The exception does not apply to new businesses which are established after the date on which the award is declared to have effect as a common rule.

4. The exception only applies to employers who are required to apply the terms of the award by virtue of the Common Rule declaration. It does not apply to employers who are named respondents to the award or who are parties bound by virtue of their membership of an employer organisation.

5. The exception applies subject to any Commonwealth legislation to the contrary.

Note 3

1. Subject to s.113 of the Workplace Relations Act 1996 and any order of the Commission, an award dealing with particular matters continues in force until a new award is made dealing with the same matters (see s.148 of the Workplace Relations Act 1996).
