1.14.5 After the all clear has been given each employee shall be notified by the employer of:

the time at which normal operations are to resume; and

DECLARATION – VICTORIA

[Common rule declared by PR954152 from 01Jan05]

Further to the decision issued by the Commission on 10 December 2004 [PR954142] 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 Mobile Crane Hiring Award 2002, 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:

1.4.1 the industry of the hiring of mobile cranes, mobile elevated work platforms and like equipment and operating personnel to clients whose requirements include but are not limited to the provision and service of materials handling equipment, lifting and machinery movement equipment, earthmoving and construction plant hire and civil contracting, plant and mobile units for quarrying and mining projects, dig loads and haul projects.

1.4.2 Hiring can be on an hour by hour, day by day, or contract basis depending on the nature of the task.

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 Mobile Crane Hiring 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 Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union and the registered organisations respondent to the award.

3. The following clauses of the award are not included in the Mobile Crane Hiring Victorian Common Rule Declaration 2005:

3.1 clause 3 - Duration;

3.2 clause 4 - Incidence of award;

3.3 Appendix A - North West Shelf Gas Project Burrup Peninsula - Western Australia; and

3.4 Schedule A - List of employer respondents.

4. Subject to 4.1 to 4.4 below, all provisions in the Mobile Crane Hiring 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 only service on or after 1 January 2004 is to be taken into account for the purpose of calculating service. [Note: the agreement in respect of this issue is without prejudice to the position a party may put in roping-in proceedings.]

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 Mobile Crane Hiring 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 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 Mobile Crane Hiring 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 Mobile Crane Hiring Victorian Common Rule Declaration 2005.

8.3 Any registered organisation bound by the terms of the Mobile Crane Hiring 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; and

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 the membership of an employer organisation.

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

Note 3

1. Subject to section 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).
