        workers, shall be worked between the hours of 6.00 a.m. and 6.00 p.m.
        Provided that the spread of hours may be altered by agreement between
        the employer and the majority of workers in the plant or section or
        sections concerned.


    (d) Where an ordinary shift or shift worker finishes not later than
        8.00 a.m. on Saturday, such hours on the Saturday shall be deemed to

    (e) The ordinary hours of work shall not exceed ten hours on any day.


        Provided that in any arrangement of ordinary working hours, where

    (b) by workers working less than eight ordinary hours on one or more
        days each week; or

        with a holiday prescribed in subclause (1) of Clause 8. - Holidays of
        this award.


(2) In each plant an assessment should be made as to which method of
    implementation best suits the business and the proposal shall be discussed
    with the workers concerned, the objective being to reach agreement on the
    method of implementation prior to 1/10/84.


(3) In the absence of an agreement at plant level, the procedure for
    resolving special, anomalous or extraordinary problems shall be as follows:


    (a) Consultation shall take place within the particular establishment
        concerned.


    (b) If it is unable to be resolved at establishment level, the matter

    advised by the employer at least four weeks in advance of the day he
    is to take off duty.


(6) (a) An employer, with the agreement of the majority of workers
        concerned, may substitute the day a worker is to take off in accordance

        the case of a breakdown in machinery or a failure or shortage of electric
        power or to meet the requirements of the business in the event of rush
        orders or some other emergency situation.


    (b) An employer and worker may by agreement substitute the day the
        worker is to take off for another day.


    (c) Where Rostered Days Off are allowed to accumulate, the employer may

    clause and shall entail an objective review of current practices to
    establish where improvements can be made and implemented.


(2) The procedures should allow for in-plant discussions to continue even
    though all matters may not be resolved by 1/10/84.


(3) The procedures should make suggestions as to the recording of
    understandings reached and methods of communicating agreements and
    understandings to all workers, including the overcoming of language
    difficulties.


(4) The procedures should allow for the monitoring of agreements and
    understandings reached in-plant.

    instances or where problems arise after initial agreements or
    understandings have been achieved in-plant, a formal monitoring procedure
    shall apply. The basic steps in this procedure shall be as applies with
    respect to special, anomalous or extraordinary problems as prescribed in
    subclause (3) of Section B of this clause.


    Section D - Hours Transition Provision:

(6) Any time in respect of which a worker is absent from work except time

            |normally worked that  |          |                    |

            |day                   |          |                    |

            +---------------------+---------+-------------------

            

            A worker shall not be entitled to claim payment for personal
            ill health or injury nor will his sick leave entitlement be
            reduced if such ill health or injury occurs on the week day he
            is to take off duty in accordance with paragraph (c) or (d) of
            subclause (1) of Section B - Implementation of 38 Hour Week of
            Clause 6. - Hours.


    (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this subclause a
        worker may adopt an alternative method of payment of sick leave
        entitlements where the employer and the majority of his employees so
        agree.


    (c) Entitlement to payment shall accrue at the rate of 1/6th of a week
        for each completed month of service with the employer.


    (d) If in the first or successive years of service with the employer a
        worker is absent on the grounds of personal ill health or injury for a
        period longer than his entitlement to paid sick leave, payment may be
        adjusted at the end of that year of service or at the time the
        worker's services terminate if before the end of that year of service,
        to the extent that the worker has become entitled to further paid sick
        leave during that year of service.


(2) The unused portions of the entitlement to paid sick leave in any one
    year shall accumulate from year to year and subject to this clause may be
    claimed by the worker if the absence by reason of personal ill health or
    injury exceeds the period for which entitlement has accrued during the
    year at the time of the absence. Provided that a worker shall not be
    entitled to claim payment for any period exceeding ten weeks in any one
    year of service.


(3) To be entitled to payment in accordance with this clause the employee
    shall as soon as reasonably practicable advise the employer of his/her
    inability to attend for work, the nature of his/her illness or injury and
    the estimated duration of the absence. Provided that such advice, other
    than in extraordinary circumstances, shall be given to the employer within
    24 hours of the commencement of the absence.


    Where practicable notification of absence due to sickness is to be
    given no later than two hours after the normal start time. In the case
    of shift workers, where practicable, the notification is to be given
    prior to the start of normal shift hours.


(4) The provisions of this clause do not apply to a worker who fails to
    produce a certificate from a medical practitioner dated at the time of the
    absence or who fails to supply such other proof of the illness or injury
    as the employer may reasonably require, provided that the worker shall not
    be required to produce a certificate from a medical practitioner with
    respect to absences of two days or less unless after two such absences in
    any year of service the employer requests in writing that the next and
    subsequent absences in that year, if any, shall be accompanied by such
    certificate.


(5) (a) Subject to the provisions of this subclause, the provisions of this
        clause apply to a worker who suffers personal ill health or injury during
        the time when he is absent on annual leave and the worker may apply for,
        and the employer shall grant, paid sick leave in place of paid annual
        leave.


    (b) Application for replacement shall be made within seven days of
        resuming work and then only if the worker was confined to his place of
        residence or a hospital as a result of his personal ill health or
        injury for a period of seven consecutive days or more and he produces
        a certificate from a registered medical practitioner that he was so
        confined. Provided that the provisions of this paragraph do not
        relieve the worker of the obligation to advise the employer in
        accordance with subclause (3) of this clause if he is unable to attend
        for work on the working day next following his annual leave.


    (c) Replacement of paid annual leave by paid sick leave shall not
        exceed the period of paid sick leave to which the worker was entitled
        at the time he proceeded on annual leave and shall not be made with
        respect to fractions of a day.


    (d) Where paid sick leave has been granted by the employer in
        accordance with paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this subclause, that
        portion of the annual leave equivalent to the paid sick leave is
        hereby replaced by the paid sick leave and the replaced annual leave
        may be taken at another time mutually agreed to by the employer and
        the worker, or failing agreement, shall be added to the worker's next
        period of annual leave, or if termination occurs before then, be paid
        for in accordance with the provisions of Clause 8A. - Annual Leave.


    (e) Payment for replaced annual leave shall be at the rate of wage
        applicable at the time the leave is subsequently taken provided that
        the annual leave loading prescribed in Clause 8A. - Annual Leave shall
        be deemed to have been paid with respect to the replaced annual leave.


(6) Where a business has been transmitted from one employer to another and
    the worker's service has been deemed continuous in accordance with
    subclause (3) of Clause 2 of the Long Service Leave provisions published
    in Volume 63 of the Western Australian Industrial Gazette at pages 1-4,
    the paid sick leave standing to the credit of the worker at the date of

(4)


    (a) No employee aged 21 or more shall be paid less than the minimum
        adult award wage unless otherwise provided by this clause.


    (b) The minimum adult award wage for full-time employees aged 21 or
        more is $569.70 per week payable on and from the first pay period on
        or after 1 October 2009.


    (c) The minimum adult award wage is deemed to include all State Wage
        order adjustments from State Wage Case Decisions.


    (d) Unless otherwise provided in this clause adults employed as
        casuals, part-time employees or piece workers 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.


    (e) Employees under the age of 21 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.


    (f) 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, provided that no employee shall be paid less than
        any applicable minimum rate of pay prescribed by the Minimum
        Conditions of Employment Act 1993.


    (g) Liberty to apply is reserved in relation to any special category of
        employees not included here or otherwise in relation to the

        (i) Apply to all work in ordinary hours.


        (ii) Apply to the calculation of overtime and all other penalty

            and for all purposes of this award.


        (i) Minimum Adult Award Wage


            The rates of pay in this award include the minimum weekly wage
            for employees aged 21 or more payable under the 2009 State
            Wage order decision. Any increase arising from the insertion
            of the minimum 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 wage.

        (i) Notwithstanding the provisions of this clause, an apprentice,
            21 years of age or more, shall not be paid less than $497.60 per
            week on and from the commencement of the first pay period on or
            after


            1 October 2009.


        (ii) The rate paid in the paragraph above to an apprentice 21 years
            of age or more is payable on superannuation and during any period
            of paid leave prescribed by this award.


        (iii) 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.


        (iv) Nothing in this clause shall operate to reduce the rate of pay
            fixed by the award for an adult apprentice in force immediately
            prior to 5 June 2003.


(5) Leading Hands: Any employee placed by the employer in charge of other

    +----------------------------+--------

    |In charge of 6 - 10 employees|  40.10  |

(6) Tool Allowance:


    (a) Where an employer does not provide a tradesperson or an apprentice
        with the tools ordinarily required by that tradesperson or apprentice
        in the performance of their work as a tradesperson or apprentice the
        employer shall pay tool allowance of:


        (i) $12.30 per week to such tradesperson; or


        (ii) in the case of an apprentice a percentage of $12.80 being the
            percentage which appears against his/her year of apprenticeship in
            subclause (4) of this clause.


            for the purpose of such tradesperson or apprentice supplying
            and maintaining tools ordinarily required in the performance
            of his/her work as a tradesperson or apprentice.


    (b) Any tool allowance paid pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subclause

        apprentices all necessary power tools, special purpose tools and
        precision measuring instruments.


    (d) A tradesperson or apprentice shall replace or pay for any tools
        supplied by their employer if lost through their own negligence.


(7) 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) 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 worker make it inadvisable for the worker to
    continue at her present work, the worker 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 maternity
    leave.


    If the transfer to a safe job is not practicable, the worker may, or
    the employer may require the worker 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
    subclauses (7), (8), (9) and (10) hereof.


(4) Variation of Period of Maternity Leave.


    (a) Provided the addition does not extend the maternity leave beyond 52
        weeks, the period may be lengthened once only, save with the agreement
        of the employer, by the worker 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 worker giving not less than 14 days' notice in
        writing stating the period by which the leave is to be shortened.


(5) Cancellation of Maternity Leave.


    (a) Maternity leave, applied for but not commenced, shall be cancelled
        when the pregnancy of a worker terminates other than by the birth of a
        living child.


    (b) Where the pregnancy of a worker then on maternity leave terminates
        other than by the birth of a living child, it shall be the right of
        the worker 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
        worker to the employer that she desires to resume work.


(6) Special Maternity Leave and Sick Leave.


    (a) Where the pregnancy of a worker not then on maternity 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) Where a worker not then on maternity leave suffers 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 known 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.


    (c) For the purposes of subclauses (7), (8) and (9) hereof, maternity
        leave shall include special maternity leave.


    (d) A worker 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 a worker who was transferred to a safe job pursuant
        to subclause (3), to the position she held immediately before such
        transfer.


        Where such position no longer exists but there are other positions
        available, for which the worker is qualified and the duties of
        which she is capable of performing, she shall be entitled to a
        position as nearly comparable in status and salary or wage to that
        of her former position.


(7) Maternity Leave and Other Leave Entitlements.


    (a) A worker may, in lieu of or in conjunction with maternity leave,
        take any annual leave or long service leave or any part thereof to
        which she is then entitled.


    (b) Paid sick leave or other paid authorised award absences (excluding
        annual leave or long service leave), shall not be available to a
        worker during her absence on maternity leave.


(8) Effect of Maternity Leave on Employment.


    Notwithstanding any award or other provision to the contrary, absence
    on maternity leave shall not break the continuity of service of a
    worker but shall not be taken into account in calculating the period
    of service for any purpose of the award.


(9) Termination of Employment.


    (a) A worker on maternity leave may terminate her employment at any
        time during the period of leave by notice given in accordance with
        this award.


    (b) An employer shall not terminate the employment of a worker on the
        ground of her pregnancy or of her absence on maternity leave, but
        otherwise the rights of an employer in relation to termination of
        employment are not hereby affected.


(10) Return to Work After Maternity Leave.


    (a) A worker shall confirm her intention of returning to her work by
        notice in writing to the employer given not less than four weeks prior
        to the expiration of her period of maternity leave.


    (b) A worker, upon the expiration of the notice required by paragraph
        (a) hereof, shall be entitled to the position which she held
        immediately before proceeding on maternity leave or, in the case of a
        worker who was transferred to a safe job pursuant to subclause (3), to
        the position which she held immediately before such transfer. Where
        such position no longer exists but there are other positions available
        for which the worker is qualified and the duties of which she is
        capable of performing, she shall be entitled to a position as nearly
        comparable in status and salary or wages to that of her former
        position.


(11) Replacement workers.


    (a) A replacement worker is a worker specifically engaged as a result
        of a workers proceeding on maternity leave.


    (b) Before an employer engages a replacement worker under this
        subclause, the employer shall inform that person of the temporary
        nature of the employment and of the rights of the worker who is being
        replaced.


    (c) Before an employer engages a person to replace a worker temporarily
        promoted or transferred in order to replace a worker exercising her
        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
        worker who is being replaced.


    (d) Provided that nothing in this subclause shall be construed as
        requiring an employer to engage a replacement worker.


    (e) A replacement worker shall not be entitled to any of the rights
        conferred by this clause except where her employment continues beyond
        the twelve months qualifying period.


31. - NO REDUCTION


Nothing contained in this award shall entitle an employer to reduce the
wage of any employee who at 28th April, 1983, is being paid a higher rate
of wage than the minimum for his or her class of work.


32. - PAYMENT OF WAGES - 38 HOUR WEEK


(1) Each worker shall be paid the appropriate rate shown in Clause 25. -
    Wages of this award. Subject to subclause (2) of this clause payment shall
    be pro-rata where less than the full week is worked.


(2) From the date that a 38 hour week system is implemented by a worker,
    wages shall be paid as follows:


    (a) Actual 38 ordinary hours:


        In the case of a worker whose ordinary hours of work are arranged
        in accordance with paragraphs (a) or (b) of subclause (1) of
        Section B - Implementation of 38 Hour Week of Clause 6. - Hours so
        that he works 38 ordinary hours each week, wages shall be paid
        weekly or fortnightly according to the actual ordinary hours
        worked each week or fortnight.


    (b) Average of 38 ordinary hours:


        Subject to subclauses (3) and (4) hereof, in the case of a worker
        whose ordinary hours of work are arranged in accordance with
        paragraphs (c) or (d) of subclause (1) of Section B -
        Implementation of 38 Hour Week of Clause 6. - Hours so that he
        works an average of 38 ordinary hours each week during a
        particular work cycle, wages shall be paid weekly or fortnightly
        according to a weekly average of ordinary hours worked even though
        more or less than 38 ordinary hours may be worked in any
        particular week of the work cycle.


        SPECIAL NOTE - EXPLANATION OF AVERAGING SYSTEM:


        As provided in paragraph (b) of this subclause a worker whose
        ordinary hours may be more or less than 38 in any particular week
        of a work cycle, is to be paid his wages on the basis of an
        average of 38 ordinary hours so as to avoid fluctuating wage
        payments each week. An explanation of the averaging system of
        paying wages is set out below:


        (i) Section B - Implementation of 38 Hour Week of Clause 6. - Hours
            in subclause (1) paragraphs (c) and (d) provides that in
            implementing a 38 hour week the ordinary hours of a worker may be
            arranged so that he is entitled to a day off, on a fixed day or
            rostered day basis, during each work cycle. It is in these
            circumstances that the averaging system would apply.


        (ii) If the 38 hour week is to be implemented so as to give a
            worker a day off in each work cycle this would be achieved if,
            during a work cycle of 28 consecutive days (that is, over four
            consecutive weeks) the workers' ordinary hours were arranged on
            the basis that for three of the four weeks he worked 40 ordinary
            hours each week and in the fourth week he worked 32 ordinary
            hours. That is, he would work for eight ordinary hours each day,
            Monday to Friday inclusive for three weeks and eight ordinary
            hours on four days only in the fourth week - a total of 19 days
            during the work cycle.


        (iii) In such case the averaging system applies and the weekly wage
            rates for ordinary hours of work applicable to the employee shall
            be the average weekly wage rates set out for the employee's
            classification in Clause 25. - Wages of this award, and shall be
            paid each week even though more or less than 38 ordinary hours are
            worked that week.


            In effect, under the averaging system, the employee accrues a
            'credit' each day he works actual ordinary hours in excess of
            the daily average which would otherwise be seven hours 36
            minutes. This 'credit' is carried forward so that in the week
            of the cycle that he works on only four days, his actual pay
            would be for an average of 38 ordinary hours even though, that
            week, he works a total of 32 ordinary hours.


            Consequently, for each day an employee works eight ordinary
            hours he accrues a 'credit' of 24 minutes (0.4 hours). The
            maximum 'credit' the employee may accrue under this system is
            0.4 hours on 19 days; that is, a total of seven hours 36
            minutes.


        (iv) As provided in subclause (3) of this clause, an employee will
            not accrue a 'credit' for each day he is absent from duty other
            than on annual leave, long service leave, holidays prescribed
            under this award, paid sick leave, workers' compensation or
            bereavement leave.


(3) Absences from Duty:


    (a) An employee whose ordinary hours are arranged in accordance with
        paragraphs (c) or (d) of subclause (1) of Section B - Implementation
        of 38 Hour Week of Clause 6. - Hours and who is paid wages in
        accordance with paragraph (a) of subclause (2) hereof and is absent
        from duty (other than on annual leave, long service leave, holidays
        prescribed under this award, paid sick leave, workers' compensation or
        bereavement leave) shall, for each day he is so absent, lose average
        pay for that day calculated by dividing his average weekly wage rate
        by 5.


        An employee who is so absent from duty for part of a day shall lose
        average pay for each hour he is absent by dividing his average
        daily pay rate by 8.


    (b) Provided that when such an employee is absent from duty for a whole
        day he will not accrue a 'credit' because he would not have worked
        ordinary hours that day in excess of seven hours and 36 minutes for
        which he would otherwise have been paid. Consequently, during the week
        of the work cycle he is to work less than 38 ordinary hours he will
        not be entitled to average pay for that week. In that week, the
        average pay will be reduced by the amount of the 'credit' he does not
        accrue for each whole day during the work cycle he is absent.


        The amount by which an employee's average weekly pay will be
        reduced when he is absent from duty (other than on annual leave,
        long service leave, holidays prescribed under this award, paid
        sick leave, workers' compensation or bereavement leave) is to be
        calculated as follows:


        +-------------------+-------+------------------

        |Total of 'credits'  |X       |average weekly pay |

        |not accrued during  |        |                   |

        |cycle               |        |                   |

        +-------------------+-------+------------------

        |                                                 |

        +-------------------+-------+------------------

        |                       38                        |

        +-------------------+-------+------------------

        

        EXAMPLES:


            (An employee's ordinary hours are arranged so that he works
                eight ordinary hours on five days of each week for three weeks
                and eight ordinary hours on four days of the fourth week).


(1) Employee takes one day off without authorisation in first week of cycle.

    the working day preceding pay day.


(6) The employee may be paid his/her wages by cheque or into his/her bank
    account. Where the employee is paid wages by electronic funds transfer
    then the employer, in agreement with the employees concerned and the

    An employee who lawfully leaves his employment or is dismissed for
    reasons other than misconduct shall be paid all moneys due to him at

    arranged in accordance with paragraphs (c) or (d) of subclause (1) of
    Section B - Implementation of 38 Hour Week and who is paid average pay
    and who has not taken the day off due to him during the work cycle in
    which his employment is terminated, the wages due to that employee
    shall include a total of credits accrued during the work cycle as
    detailed in the Special Note following paragraph (b) of subclause (2)
    of this clause.


    Provided further, where the employee has taken a day off during the
    work cycle in which his employment is terminated, the wages due to
    that employee shall be reduced by the total of credits which have not
    accrued during the work cycle.


(8) Details of Payments to be Given


    Where an employee requests his employer to state in writing with
    respect to each week's wages the amount of wages to which he is
    entitled, the amount of deductions made therefrom, the net amount
    being paid to him, and the number of hours worked, the employer shall
    do so not less than two hours before the employee is paid.


(9) Calculation of Hourly Rate


    Except as provided in subclause (3) of this clause the ordinary rate
    per hour shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate weekly rate
    by 38.


(10) No deduction shall be made from an employee's wages unless the worker
    had authorised such deduction in writing.


33. - HIGHER DUTIES ALLOWANCE


(1) A worker who performs duties which carry a higher minimum rate than
    that which such worker usually performs shall be entitled to the higher
    minimum rate while so employed.


(2) Where such worker is engaged in the higher grade of work for more than
    two hours in any one day, the worker shall be paid the higher rate for the
    whole day.

        (ii) an exempted Fund allowed by subclause (4) of this clause.


    (b) Except where the Trust Deed provides otherwise employer
        contributions shall be paid on a monthly basis for each week of

        Contributions of this clause, shall be calculated by the employer on
        behalf of each employee from the date one month after the employee

        application to join the Fund and the employer has complied with the
        following:


        (i) the employer shall provide the employee with an application to
            join the Fund and documentation explaining the Fund within one

        (iii) Where the employee completes and returns the letter of
            denial, no contribution need be made on that employee's behalf.


        (iv) Where the employee completes and returns neither the

            Provided that if at any time an employee returns a signed
            application form, notwithstanding a previous failure to return
            such form or the return of a letter of denial, the employer
            shall make contributions on behalf of that employee from the
            date of return of the signed application form.


    (b) Part-time employees shall not be entitled to receive the employer
        contribution mentioned in subclause (1) - Employer Contributions of
        this clause, unless they work a minimum of 12 hours per week.


    (c) Casual employees who are employed for 32 consecutive working days

    To (employer)


    I have received an application for membership of the non-contributory
    Superannuation Fund and understand:


(1) that should I sign such form you will make contributions on my behalf;
    and


(2) that I am not required to make contributions of my own; and

                Compliance, Nomination and Transition


                Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere herein which
                requires that contribution be made to a superannuation

                June 1998 -


    (a) Any such fund or scheme shall no longer be a complying
        superannuation fund or scheme for the purposes of this clause unless -


        (i) the fund or scheme is a complying fund or scheme within the
            meaning of the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992
            of the Commonwealth; and

        the employee to whom such is directed;


    (e) The employee and employer shall be bound by the nomination of the
        employee unless the employee and employer agree to change the
        complying superannuation fund or scheme to which contributions are to
        be made;


    (f) The employer shall not unreasonably refuse to agree to a change of
        complying superannuation fund or scheme requested by a employee;

        thereafter nominates a complying superannuation fund or scheme -


    (g) if one or more complying superannuation funds or schemes to which
        contributions may be made be specified herein, the employer is
        required to make contributions to that fund or scheme, or one of those
        funds or schemes nominated by the employer;


        or


    (h) if no complying superannuation fund or scheme to which

        standards;


    (b) the majority of employees affected by the change at the plant or
        enterprise must genuinely agree to the change;
