14.3 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.

14.4 Transmission of business

Where a business is transmitted from one employer to another, as set out in clause 15 - 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.”

  • 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

An employer must not fail to re-engage a casual employee because:

(a) the employee or employee's spouse is pregnant; or

(b) the employee is or has been immediately absent on parental leave.

The rights of an employer in relation to engagement and re-engagement of casual employees are not affected, other than in accordance with this clause.

For females, maternity leave may be taken and for males, paternity leave may be taken. Adoption leave may be taken in the case of adoption.

35.2.2 Subject to 35.3.6, parental leave is to be available to only one parent at a time, in a single unbroken period, except that both parents may simultaneously take:

35.2.2(a) for maternity and paternity leave, an unbroken period of up to one week at the time of the birth of the child;

35.2.2(b) for adoption leave, an unbroken period of up to three weeks at the time of placement of the child.

35.3 Maternity leave

35.3.1 An employee must provide notice to the employer in advance of the expected date of commencement of parental leave. The notice requirements are:

35.3.1(b) of the date on which the employee proposes to commence maternity leave and the period of leave to be taken - at least four weeks.

35.3.2 When the employee gives notice under 35.3.1(a) the employee must also provide a statutory declaration stating particulars of any period of paternity leave sought or taken by her spouse and that for the period of maternity leave she will not engage in any conduct inconsistent with her contract of employment.

35.3.3 An employee will not be in breach of this clause if failure to give the stipulated notice is occasioned by confinement occurring earlier than the presumed date.

35.3.4 Subject to 35.2.1 and unless agreed otherwise between the employer and employee, an employee may commence parental leave at any time within six weeks immediately prior to the expected date of birth.

35.3.5 Where an employee continues to work within the six week period immediately prior to the expected date of birth, or where the employee elects to return to work within six weeks after the birth of the child, an employer may require the employee to provide a medical certificate stating that she is fit to work on her normal duties.

35.3.6 Special maternity leave

35.3.6(a) Where the pregnancy of an employee not then on maternity leave terminates after 28 weeks other than by the birth of a living child, then the employee may take unpaid special maternity leave of such periods as a registered medical practitioner certifies as necessary.

35.3.6(b) Where an employee is suffering from an illness not related to the direct consequences of the confinement, an employee may take any paid sick leave to which she is entitled in lieu of, or in addition to, special maternity leave.

35.3.6(c) Where an employee not then on maternity leave suffers illness related to her pregnancy, she may take any paid sick leave to which she is then entitled and such further unpaid special maternity leave as a registered medical practitioner certifies as necessary before her return to work.

35.3.7 Where leave is granted under 35.3.4, during the period of leave an employee may return to work at any time, as agreed between the employer and the employee provided that time does not exceed four weeks from the recommencement date desired by the employee.

35.4 Paternity leave

35.4.1 An employee will provide to the employer at least ten weeks prior to each proposed period of paternity leave, with:

35.4.1(a) a certificate from a registered medical practitioner which names his spouse, states that she is pregnant and the expected date of confinement, or states the date on which the birth took place; and

35.4.1(b) written notification of the dates on which he proposes to start and finish the period of paternity leave; and

35.4.1(c) except in relation to leave taken simultaneously with the child’s mother under clause 35.2 and 35.7 a statutory declaration stating:

35.4.1(c)(i) he will take that period of paternity leave to become the primary care-giver of a child;

35.4.1(c)(ii) particulars of any period of maternity leave sought or taken by his spouse; and

35.4.1(c)(iii) that for the period of paternity leave he will not engage in any conduct inconsistent with his contract of employment.

35.4.2 The employee will not be in breach of 35.4.1 if the failure to give the required period of notice is because of the birth occurring earlier than expected, the death of the mother of the child, or other compelling circumstances.

35.5 Adoption leave

35.5.1 The employee will notify the employer at least ten weeks in advance of the date of commencement of adoption leave and the period of leave to be taken. An employee may commence adoption leave prior to providing such notice, where through circumstances beyond the control of the employee, the adoption of a child takes place earlier.

35.5.2 Before commencing adoption leave, an employee will provide the employer with a statutory declaration stating:

35.5.2(a) the employee is seeking adoption leave to become the primary care-giver of the child;

35.5.2(b) particulars of any period of adoption leave sought or taken by the employee's spouse; and

35.5.2(c) that for the period of adoption leave the employee will not engage in any conduct inconsistent with their contract of employment.

35.5.3 An employer may require an employee to provide confirmation from the appropriate government authority of the placement.

35.5.4 Where the placement of child for adoption with an employee does not proceed or continue, the employee will notify the employer immediately and the employer will nominate a time not exceeding four weeks from receipt of notification for the employee's return to work.

35.5.5 An employee will not be in breach of this clause as a consequence of failure to give the stipulated periods of notice if such failure results from a requirement of an adoption agency to accept earlier or later placement of a child, the death of a spouse, or other compelling circumstances.

35.5.6 An employee seeking to adopt a child is entitled to unpaid leave for the purpose of attending any compulsory interviews or examinations as are necessary as part of the adoption procedure. The employee and the employer should agree on the length of the unpaid leave. Where agreement cannot be reached, the employee is entitled to take up to two days unpaid leave. Where paid leave is available to the employee, the employer may require the employee to take such leave instead.

36.3.2 An employee required to work on a public holiday will be paid at a rate of time and one half for hours worked in addition to the day’s payment provided for in clause 36.2. However any payment will be limited to a maximum of double time and a half.

DECLARATION - VICTORIA

[Common rule declared by PR953425 from 01Jan05]


Further to the decision issued by the Commission on 20 December 2004 [AW818060 PR953550] 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 Part C of the Transport Workers (Passenger Vehicles) 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 the industry of the transportation of passengers for hire or reward by road:

  • including the occupations of bus parker, conductor, dispatcher/radio operator, driver, cleaner/washer/detailer, greaser, loader/freight receiver, refueller, school bus supervisor, trainer/driver trainer, ticket seller, tour guide and yardperson;

  • including employees engaged in activities incidental or ancillary to the transportation of passengers for hire or reward by road.


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 except those specified in clause 3 below, shall be:

2.1 a common rule for the industry in Victoria and known as the Transport Workers (Passenger Vehicles) Part C 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 Transport Workers’ Union of Australia and other registered organisations respondent to the award.


3. The following clauses of the award are not included in the Transport Workers (Passenger Vehicles) Part C Victorian Common Rule Declaration 2005:

3.1 clause 5 - Duration of award;

3.2 clause 6 insofar as it refers to employers bound by the award;

3.3 clause 6.2 - Parties bound and application.


4. Subject to 4.1 to 4.5 below, all provisions in the Transport Workers (Passenger Vehicles) Part C 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 less than 15 employees, only service on or after 1 January 2005 is to be taken into account for the purpose of calculating ‘service’.

4.3 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’. [Note: the agreement in respect of this issue is without prejudice to the position a party may put in roping-in proceedings.]

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

4.5 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 Transport Workers (Passenger Vehicles) Part C 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. In particular, this award shall not apply to:

5.1 Any person employed in accordance with the Vehicle Industry - Repair, Services and Retail - Award 2002 [AW801827CRA] who is required to perform work in the classifications covered by that Award, other than the work of driver, tour guide or coach attendant (however described).


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. Subject to 7.1, 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.]

7.1 Where Commonwealth legislation requires choice of superannuation fund, the Transport Workers Union Superannuation Fund shall be the default fund for all superannuation contributions unless another fund is so specified by the employee.

7.2 Subject to clause 7.1, employers in new businesses established on or after 1 January 2005 shall in respect of each of their employees covered by this declaration make superannuation contributions in accordance with the Award.


8. In the event of a dispute about the entitlement of an employer to set-off entitlements and benefits required to be provided under a contract of employment made prior to the date of this declaration against entitlements and benefits required to be provided under the Transport Workers (Passenger Vehicles) Part C 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 Transport Workers (Passenger Vehicles) Part C Victorian Common Rule Declaration 2005.

8.3 Any registered organisation bound by the terms of the Transport Workers (Passenger Vehicles) Part C 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, 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 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

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).
