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 Security Officers Grade 1.

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

· Clause 20. – Special Rates and Provisions
· Clause 21. – Classification Structure and Wage Rates

is 3.90% derived from $19 divided by $487.60 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.”

3. For Expense Related Allowances:

· Clause 15. - Overtime has been varied for the CPI Take Away Foods – Perth for the period September 2002 to December 2004 giving the percentage of 7.10%.

December 2004 161.5 X 100 = 7.10%
September 2002 150.8 1

CPI Meals Out and Take Away Foods - Perth

· Clause 25. – Fares and Travelling has been varied for the CPI (Private Motoring Perth) for the period September 2002 to December 2004.


Calculations are therefore:

December 2004 144.7 X 100 = 5.16%
September 2002 137.6 1
