3. ANTI-DISCRIMINATION

3.1 It is the intention of the respondents to this award to achieve the principal object in s.3(j) of the Workplace Relations Act 1996 through respecting and valuing 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, national extraction or social origin.

3.2 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.

3.3 Nothing in this clause is taken to affect:

3.3.1 any different treatment (or treatment having different effects) which is specifically exempted under the Commonwealth anti-discrimination legislation;

3.3.2 junior rates of pay, until 22 June 2000 or later date determined by the Commission in accordance with s.143(1E) of the Act;

3.3.3 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;

3.3.4 the exemptions in s.170CK(3) and (4) of the Act.


4. PARTIES BOUND

4.1 This award shall be binding on:

4.1.1 All employees whether members of an organisation listed in Schedule A or not who are employed by:

4.1.1(a) employers listed in Schedule B; or

4.1.1(b) members of organisations of employers listed in Schedule B; and

5.1.2 who are employed by an employer bound by this award or employed by a member of an employer organisation bound by this award; and

5.1.3(b) binds a union which is a party to this award and in respect of which the person is a member or is eligible for membership.

5.2 This award does not apply to the apprenticeship system or any training programme which applies to the same occupation and achieves essentially the same training outcome as an existing apprenticeship in an award as at 25 June 1997 or in an award that binds the employer. This award only applies to AQF IV traineeships when the AQF III traineeship in the training package is listed in Schedule C. Further, this award also does not apply to any certificate IV training qualification that is an extension of the competencies acquired under a certificate III qualification which is excluded from this award due to the operation of this subclause.

5.3 At the conclusion of the Traineeship, this award ceases to apply to the employment of the Trainee and the relevant award shall apply to the former trainee.

5.4 Except as provided for in clause 6 - Supersession, nothing in this award shall be taken to replace the prescription of training requirements in the relevant award.


6. SUPERSESSION

This award supersedes the National Training Wage Award 1994, the National Training Wage Interim (Roping in No. 1) Award 1995 the National Training Wage (Transport Workers - Roping-in No. 1) Interim Award 1996, the National Training Wage (Transport Workers - Roping in No. 2) Award 1996.

[11.14 substituted by PR969102 ppc 24Feb06]

11.14 Where a person was employed by an employer immediately prior to becoming an adult trainee with that employer, such person shall not suffer a reduction in the rate of pay by virtue of becoming a trainee. Casual loadings will be disregarded when determining whether a person has suffered a reduction in the rate of pay.

14.3 The hours for which payment shall be made are determined as follows:

14.3.1 Where the approved training for a traineeship (including a school based traineeship) is provided off-the-job by a registered training organisation, for example at school or at TAFE, these rates shall apply only to the total hours worked by the part time trainee on-the-job.

[14.3.2 substitutd by PR932806 ppc 09Aug02]

14.3.2 Where the approved training is undertaken solely on-the-job, and the average proportion of time to be spent in approved training is 20% (i.e. the same as for the equivalent full time traineeship), then the total hours on-the-job shall be multiplied by the applicable hourly rate, and then 20 per cent shall be deducted.

[14.3.3 substituted by PR932806 ppc 09Aug02]

14.3.3 Where the approved training is partly on-the-job and partly off-the-job, and the average proportion of time to be spent in approved training is 20% (i.e. the same as for the equivalent full time traineeship), then the total of all hours spent in work and training shall be multiplied by the applicable hourly rate, and then 20 per cent shall be deducted.

Note: As noted in clause 10 of this award, 20 per cent is the average proportion of time spent in approved training which has been taken into account in setting the wage rates for most full time traineeships.

14.3.4 Where a person was employed part time by an employer immediately prior to becoming a part time adult trainee with that employer, such person shall not suffer a reduction in the hourly rate of pay by virtue of becoming a trainee. Casual loadings will be disregarded when determining whether a person has suffered a reduction in the rate of pay.

14.3.5 Where the normal full time weekly hours are not 38 the appropriate hourly rate may be obtained by multiplying the rate in the table by 38 and then dividing by the normal full time hours.

14.4 General Formula

14.4.1 For traineeships not covered by 14.2.1, the following formula for the calculation of wage rates shall apply:

14.4.1(a) The wage rate shall be pro-rata the full time rates based on variation in the amount of training and/or the amount of work over the period of the traineeship which may also be varied on the basis of the following formula:

Full time wage rate
x
Trainee hours – average weekly training time


30.4*

* Note: 30.4 in the above formula represents 38 ordinary full time hours less the average training time for full time trainees (ie. 20%) a pro rata adjustment will need to be made in the case where the relevant award specifies different ordinary full time hours: for example where the ordinary weekly hours are 40, 30.4 will be replaced by 32.

14.4.1(a)(i) Full time wage rate means the appropriate rate as set out in 11.4, 11.5, 11.6, 11.7 and 11.8.

14.4.1(a)(ii) Trainee hours shall be the hours worked per week including the time spent in approved training.

14.4.1(a)(iii) Average weekly training time is based upon the length of the traineeship specified in the traineeship agreement or training agreement as follows:

7.6 x 12
LENGTH OF THE TRAINEESHIP IN MONTHS

Note 1: 7.6 in the above formula represents the average weekly training time for a full time trainee whose ordinary hours are 38 per week a pro rata adjustment will need to be made in the case where the relevant award specifies different ordinary time hours for example, where the ordinary weekly hours are 40, 7.6 will be replaced by 8.

Note 2: The parties note that the traineeship agreement will require a trainee to be employed for sufficient hours to complete all requirements of the traineeship, including the on the job work experience and demonstration of competencies the parties also note that this would result in the equivalent of a full day’s on the job work per week.

14.5 Example of the calculation for the wage rate for a part time traineeship

A school student commences a traineeship in year 11 the ordinary hours of work in the relevant award are 38. The training agreement specifies two years (24 months) as the length of the traineeship.

Average weekly training time is therefore 7.6 x 12/24 = 3.8 hours.

Trainee hours totals 15 hours; these are made up of 11 hours work which is worked over two days of the week plus 1-1/2 hours on the job training plus 2-1/2 hours off the job approved training at school and at TAFE.

So the wage rate in year 11 is:

$181
x
15 – 3.8
=
$66.68 (plus any applicable penalty rates under the


30.4

relevant award)

The wage rate varies when the student completes year 11 and passes the anniversary date of 1 January the following year to begin year 12 and/or if trainee hours changes.

14.6 Employment conditions for all part time trainees

14.6.1 A part time trainee shall receive, on a pro rata basis, all employment conditions applicable to a full time trainee. All the provisions of this award shall apply to part time trainees except as specified in this clause.

14.6.2 However, a trainee undertaking a school based traineeship may, with the agreement of the trainee, be paid an additional loading 20 per cent on all ordinary hours in lieu of annual leave, sick leave, personal leave and public holidays notwithstanding this, where a trainee is called upon to work on a public holiday the provisions of the relevant award shall apply.

14.6.3 A part time trainee may, by agreement, transfer from a part time to a full time traineeship position should one become available.

14.6.4 The minimum engagement periods specified in the relevant awards shall also be applicable to part time trainees.
