PART A
1. Title
This award shall be known as the Training Wage (State) Award.
2. Application
(a) Subject to
subclause (c) of this clause, and clause 9, Area, Incidence and Duration, this
award shall apply to persons who are undertaking a traineeship (as defined) and
is to be read in conjunction with the Parent Award (as defined).
(b) Notwithstanding
(a), this award shall apply provisionally for an interim period:
(i) Starting upon
the commencement date as recorded on a valid "Application to Establish a
Traineeship" signed by both the employer and the trainee, which has been lodged
with the Commissioner for Vocational Training; and
(ii) Ending at the
time the employer is notified that the establishment of the traineeship has
been approved, or at the end of the probationary period, whichever is the
later.
(c) The Parent
Award or any former industrial agreement of the Industrial Relations Commission
of New South Wales shall apply, except where inconsistent with this award.
(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this award shall not apply to employees who were employed by an
employer under an award referred to in subclause (a) of this clause prior to
the date of approval of a traineeship relevant to the employer, except where
agreed upon between the employer and the relevant union(s).
(e) This award
does not apply to the apprenticeship system or any training program which
applies to the same occupation and achieves essentially the same training
outcome as an existing apprenticeship in an award as at 27 April 1998, 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 Appendix A to this award. 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.
NOTATION: The abbreviation ‘AQF’ means Australian
Qualification Framework.
(f) At the
conclusion of the traineeship, this award shall cease to apply to the
employment of the trainee and the Parent Award shall apply to the former
trainee.
3. Objective
The objective of this award is to assist in the
establishment of a system of traineeships which provides approved training in
conjunction with employment in order to enhance the skill levels and future
employment prospects of trainees, particularly young people, and the long-term
unemployed. The system is neither
designed nor intended for those who are already trained and job-ready. It is
not intended that existing employees shall be displaced from employment by
trainees. Nothing in this award shall
be taken to replace the prescription of training requirements in the Parent
Award.
4. Definitions
Structured Training means that training which is specified
in the Training Plan which is part of the Training Contract registered with the
relevant NSW Training Authority. It
includes training undertaken both o- and off-the-job in a traineeship and
involves formal instruction, both theoretical and practical, and supervised
practice. The training reflects the
requirements of a traineeship approved by the relevant NSW Training Authority
and leads to a qualification set out in subclause (f) of clause 5, Training
Conditions.
Parent Award means an award listed in subclause (ii) of
clause 9, Area, Incidence and Duration, and any award subsequently listed in
that subclause.
Relevant Union means a union party to the making of the
Parent Award and which is entitled to enrol the trainee as a member.
Trainee is an individual who is a signatory to a Training
Contract registered with the relevant NSW Training Authority and is involved in
paid work and structured training which may be on- or off-the-job. A trainee can be full-time, part-time or
school-based.
Traineeship means a system of training which has been
approved by the relevant NSW Training Authority, and includes full-time
traineeships and part-time traineeships including school-based traineeships.
Training Contract means a contract entered into for the
purposes of establishing a Traineeship under the Apprenticeship and Traineeship Act 2001(NSW).
Training Plan means a program of training which forms part
of a Training Contract registered with the Relevant NSW Training Authority.
School-based Trainee is a student enrolled in the Higher
School Certificate, or equivalent qualification, who is undertaking a
traineeship which forms a recognised component of their HSC curriculum, and is
endorsed by the relevant NSW Training Authority and the NSW Board of Studies as
such.
Relevant NSW Training Authority means the Department of
Education and Training, or successor organisation.
Year 10 - For the purposes of this award, any person leaving
school before completing Year 10 shall be deemed to have completed Year 10.
5. Training
Conditions
(a) The trainee
shall attend an approved training course or training program prescribed in the
Training Contract or as notified to the trainee by the Relevant NSW Training
Authority in an accredited and relevant traineeship.
(b) A traineeship
shall not commence until the relevant Training Contract has been signed by the
employer and the trainee and lodged for registration with the Relevant NSW
Training Authority.
(c) The employer
shall ensure that the trainee is permitted to attend the training course or
program provided for in the Training Contract and shall ensure that the trainee
receives the appropriate on-the-job training.
(d) The employer
shall provide a level of supervision in accordance with the Training Contract
during the traineeship period.
(e) The employer
agrees that the overall training program will be monitored by officers of the
Relevant NSW Training Authority and that training records or work books may be
utilised as part of this monitoring process.
(f) Training
shall be directed at:
(i) the
achievement of key competencies required for successful participation in the
workplace (e.g. literacy, numeracy, problem-solving, teamwork, using
technology) and an Australian Qualification Framework Certificate Level I.
This could be achieved through foundation competencies
which are part of endorsed competencies for an industry or enterprise; and/or
(ii) the
achievement of key competencies required for successful participation in an
industry or enterprise (where there are endorsed national standards these will
define these competencies) as are proposed to be included in an Australian
Qualification Framework Certificate Level II or above.
6. Employment
Conditions
(a) A trainee
shall be engaged as a full-time employee for a maximum of one year's duration
or a part-time trainee for a period no greater than the equivalent of one year
full-time employment.
For example, a part-time trainee working 2 ½ days per
week (including the time spent in approved training) works (and trains) half
the hours of a full-time trainee and therefore their traineeship could extend
for a maximum of two years.
In any event, unless the Relevant NSW Training
Authority directs, the maximum duration for a traineeship shall be 36 months.
By agreement in writing, and with the consent of the
relevant NSW Training Authority, the relevant employer and the trainee may vary
the duration of the traineeship and the extent of approved training, provided
that any agreement to vary is in accordance with the relevant traineeship.
(b) A trainee
shall be subject to a satisfactory probation period of up to one month which
may be reduced at the discretion of the employer.
(c) Where the
trainee completes the qualification in the Training Contract earlier than the
time specified in the Training Contract, then the traineeship may be concluded
by mutual agreement.
(d) A traineeship
shall not be terminated before its conclusion, except in accordance with the Apprenticeship and Traineeship Act 2001
(NSW), or by mutual agreement.
An employer who chooses not to continue the employment
of a trainee upon the completion of the traineeship shall notify, in writing,
the Relevant NSW Training Authority of their decision.
(e) The trainee
shall be permitted to be absent from work without loss of continuity of
employment and/or wages to attend the approved training in accordance with the
Training Contract.
(f) Where the
employment of a trainee by an employer is continued after the completion of the
traineeship period, such traineeship period shall be counted as service for the
purposes of any Parent Award or any other legislative entitlements.
(g)
(i) The Training
Contract may restrict the circumstances under which the trainee may work
overtime and shiftwork in order to ensure the training program is successfully
completed.
(ii) No trainee
shall work overtime or shiftwork on their own unless consistent with the
provisions of the Parent Award.
(iii) No trainee
shall work shiftwork unless the relevant parties to this award agree that such
shiftwork makes satisfactory provision for Structured Training. Such training may be applied over a cycle in
excess of a week but must average over the relevant period no less than the
amount of training required for non-shiftwork trainees.
(iv) The trainee
wage shall be the basis for the calculation of overtime and/or shift penalty
rates prescribed by the Parent Award.
(h) All other
terms and conditions of the Parent Award(s) that are applicable to the trainee
or would be applicable to the trainee but for this award shall apply unless
specifically varied by this award.
(i) A trainee who
fails to either complete the traineeship or who cannot, for any reason, be
placed in full-time employment with the employer on successful completion of
the traineeship shall not be entitled to any severance payment.
The following employment conditions apply specifically to
part-time and school-based trainees:
(j) 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.
(k) A part-time
trainee may, by agreement, transfer from a part-time to a full-time traineeship
position should one become available.
(l) The minimum
daily engagement periods applying to part-time employees specified in the
Parent Award(s) shall also be applicable to part-time trainees.
Where there is no provision for a minimum daily
engagement period in the Parent Award(s) or other industrial instrument(s)
applying to part-time employees, then the minimum start per occasion shall be
three continuous hours, except in cases where it is agreed that there shall be
a start of two continuous hours, on two or more days per week, provided that:
(i) a two-hour
start is sought by the employee to accommodate the employee’s personal
circumstances; or
(ii) the place of
work is within a distance of 5 km from the employee’s place of residence.
(m) School-based
trainees shall not be required to attend work during the interval starting four
weeks prior to the commencement of the final year Higher School Certificate
Examination period and ending upon the completion of the individual’s last HSC
examination paper.
(n) For the
purposes of this award, a school-based trainee shall become an ordinary trainee
as at 1 January of the year following the year in which they ceased to be a
school student.
7. Wages
Wages - Full-time Trainees
(a) The weekly
wages payable to full-time trainees shall be as follows:
|
Industry/Skill
Level A
|
Table 1
|
|
Industry/Skill
Level B
|
Table 2
|
|
Industry Skill
Level C
|
Table 3
|
|
School-based
Trainees
|
Table 4
|
(b) These wage
rates will only apply to trainees while they are undertaking an approved
traineeship which includes Structured Training as defined in this award.
(c) The wage rates
prescribed by this clause do not apply to complete trade level training which
is covered by the Apprenticeship system.
(d) The rates of
pay in this award include the adjustments payable under the State Wage Case
2002. These adjustments may be offset
against:
(i) any
equivalent over-award payments; and/or
(ii) award wage
increases since 29 May 1991 other than safety net, State Wage Case, and minimum
rates adjustments.
(e) Appendix A
sets out the skill level of a traineeship.
Where the actual traineeship is listed in Appendix A, the skill level in
respect of the traineeship is determinative of the actual skill levels (i.e.
skill levels A, B or C) that are contained in the traineeship. Where the traineeship is not listed in
Appendix A, the skill levels in Appendix A are illustrative of the appropriate
levels, but are not determinative of the actual skill levels. The determination of the appropriate rate of
pay or skill level for the purpose of determining the appropriate wage rate
shall be based on the following criteria:
(i) Any agreement
of the parties, or submission by the parties;
(ii) The nature of
the industry;
(iii) The total
training plan;
(iv) Recognition
that training can be undertaken in stages;
(v) The exit skill
level in the Parent Award contemplated by the traineeship.
In the event that the parties disagree with such
determination, it shall be open to any party to the award to seek to have the
matters in dispute determined by the Industrial Relations Commission of New
South Wales.
(f) For the
purposes of this provision, "out of school" shall refer only to
periods out of school beyond Year 10 and shall be deemed to:
(i) include any
period of schooling beyond Year 10 which was not part of nor contributed to a
completed year of schooling;
(ii) include any
period during which a trainee repeats in whole or part a year of schooling
beyond Year 10;
(iii) not include
any period during a calendar year in which a year of schooling is completed;
and
(iv) have effect on
an anniversary date being 1 January in
each year.
Wages for Part-time and School-based Trainees
(g) This clause
shall apply to trainees who undertake a traineeship on a part-time basis by
working less than full-time ordinary hours and by undertaking the approved
training at the same or lesser training time than a full-time trainee.
(h) Table 5 -
Hourly Rates for Trainees Who Have Left School and Table 6 - Hourly Rates for
School-based Traineeships, of Part B, Monetary Rates, are the hourly rates of
pay where the training is either fully off-the-job or where 20% of time is
spent in approved training. These rates
are derived from a 38-hour week.
(i) The hours for
which payment shall be made are determined as follows:
(i) 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.
(ii) Where the approved
training is undertaken on-the-job or in a combination of on-the-job and
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):
(1) If the
training is solely on-the-job, then the total hours on-the-job shall be
multiplied by the applicable hourly rate, and then 20% shall be deducted.
(2) If the
training is partly on-the-job and partly off-the-job, then the total of all
hours spent in work and training shall be multiplied by the applicable hourly
rate, and then 20% shall be deducted.
NOTE: 20% 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.
(iii) 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.
(j) For
traineeships not covered by subclause (b) of this clause, the following formula
for the calculation of wage rates shall apply:
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:
|
Wage
|
=
|
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 (i.e.
20%). A pro rata adjustment will need
to be made in the case where the Parent Award specifies different ordinary
full-time hours. For example, where the
ordinary weekly hours are 40, 30.4 will be replaced by 32.
(i) "Full-time
wage rate" means the appropriate rate as set out in Table 1 -
Industry/Skill Level A, Table 2 - Industry/Skill Level B, Table 3 -
Industry/Skill Level C and Table 4 - School-based Traineeships, of Part B,
Monetary Rates.
(ii) "Trainee
hours" shall be the hours worked per week including the time spent in
Structured Training. For the purposes
of this definition, the time spent in Structured Training may taken as an
average for that particular year of the Traineeship.
(iii) "Average
weekly training time" is based upon the length of the traineeship
specified in the traineeship agreement or training agreement as follows:
|
Average Weekly
Training Time
|
=
|
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 Parent 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.
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 are 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
|
|
Parent
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.
(k)
(i) Definition of
Adult Trainee
An adult trainee for the purpose of this subclause is a
trainee who would qualify for the highest wage rate in Industry/Skill Level A,
B, or C if covered by that Industry/Skill Level.
(ii) Wage Rates
for Certificate IV Traineeships
(a) Trainees
undertaking an AQF IV traineeship shall receive the relevant weekly wage rate
for AQF III trainees at Industry/Skill Levels A, B, or C as applicable with the
addition of 3.8 per cent of that wage rate.
(b) An adult
trainee who is undertaking a traineeship for an AQF IV qualification shall
receive the following weekly wage as applicable based on the allocation of AQF
III qualifications:

(i) A trainee
shall notify the employer as to the substance of any grievance and request a
meeting with the employer for bilateral discussions in order to settle the
grievance.
(ii) If no remedy
to the trainee's grievance is found, then the trainee shall seek further
discussions and attempt to resolve the grievance at a higher level of
authority, where appropriate.
(iii) Reasonable

(NSW); or
(2) if the dispute
relates to industrial issues, then the matter may be referred to the Industrial
Relations Commission of New South Wales by either the employer, an industrial
organisation of employers or a union representing the trainee.
(vi) While this
grievance procedure is being followed, normal work shall continue.
(b) Procedures
relating to Disputes, etc., between Employers and their Trainees
(i) A question,
dispute or difficulty must initially be dealt with at the workplace level where
the problem has arisen. If the problem
cannot be resolved at this level, the matter shall be referred to a higher
level of authority.
(ii) If no
resolution can be found to the question, dispute or difficulty, the matter may
be referred to the Industrial Relations Commission of New South Wales by any
party to the dispute or the industrial organisation representing any of the
parties to the dispute.
(iii) Reasonable
time limits must be allowed for discussion at each level of authority.
(iv) While a
procedure is being followed, normal work must continue.
(v) The employer
may be represented by an industrial organisation of employers and the trainees
