SCHEDULE

(d) Foreperson: In addition to the total wage prescribed in this clause for a doughmaker, a foreperson shall be paid:



$



(i)

15.10



(ii)

(e) Disability Allowance:

In addition to the total wage prescribed in this subclause a disability allowance of $6.40 per week shall be paid to doughmakers and single hand bakers.


And further, with the consent of the parties, the Commission records the following basis for variations:

1. The agreed Key Minimum Classification in this Award is Baker.

2. For Work Related Allowances – the percentage increase in:

· Clause 8. – Wages

is derived from $17 divided by $545.00 equals 3.12% (2005) and $20 divided by $562.00 equals 3.56% (2006) as prescribed by Principle 5. Adjustment of Allowances and Service Increments of the State Wage Case.

“allowances which relate to work or conditions which have not changed and service increments may be adjusted as a result of the arbitrated safety net increase . . . the method of adjustment shall be that such allowances and service increments should be increased by a percentage derived as follows: divide the monetary safety net increase by the rate for the key classification in the relevant award immediately prior to the application of the safety net increase to the award rate and multiply by 100.”
For all allowances previous rates are identified in Column A of the spreadsheet. Column B identifies the new actual rate having applied the increase. Column C the new rate identified in Column B rounded where appropriate.
