Anglican Schools Commission Support Staff Enterprise Agreement 2015 interpreted

The Commission has issued an interpretation of the Anglican School Commission Support Staff Enterprise Agreement 2015 (the Agreement) after the applicant sought clarification on what remuneration applied to one of its members.

Commissioner Matthews noted that prior to the Agreement being registered on 21 March 2017 the member, and some of the respondent's other employees, were subject to the Independent Schools' Administrative and Technical Officers' Award 1993 (the Award).

Matthews C considered evidence that some employees who were previously subject to the Award were paid over the Award rate. Matthews C found that if, prior to the Agreement's registration, those of the respondent's employees that were paid at Levels 1 to 4 under the Award should be paid in accordance with table 1 of the Agreement, and, that table 2 would apply for employees that were previously being paid above the Award rate.
