SCHEDULE 1

 

PROCEDURES

 

1.          Variations to the rates detailed in Annexure "A" shall be made by the Industrial Relations Commission of New South Wales upon application.

 

2.          Variations shall be established by ascertaining the percentage change in the various cost components contained at Schedule 3, Benchmarks from the time the last variation of the rates was calculated to the specified Review Date:

 

2.1        The Review Date shall be:

 

1st June.

 

2.2        If for any reason a relevant figure is not available or obtained at the Review Date the latest available figure is to be taken.  Adjustment will be made when figures are next determined for the difference between figure at the Review Date and the figure used as calculated above.

 

2.3        The latest available figures for each component will then be expressed as a percentage increase of the figure last used for that component in the previous rise and fall calculation.

 

2.4        The Percentage Increase/Decrease calculated for each component is then to be applied to the percentage of total cost of that component to drive the new percentage of Total Cost figure.

 

2.5        The sum of the new percentage of Total Cost figures minus 100% shall be the Percentage Increase to apply. All costs are to be the latest available from the source reference as at 1 June.  All rates for symbols F.F. and A through to I are to be expressed to 3 decimal points. When preparing schedules of rates payable per unit quantity for various distances, the rates for flag fall and the distance are to be calculated each using 3 decimal points and the final figure from the addition of the flag fall and the "distance" amount then rounded to two decimal points.  When calculating rates per cubic metre, the final figure per tonne to 3 decimal points from the addition of the flag fall and the distance is to be multiplied by the relevant conversion factor, and the resultant figure then rounded to two decimal points to obtain the rate per cubic metre.

 

2.6        Following each application of the formula, the cost components shall be re-weighted to indicate the new percentage.

 

2.7        If the non-labour cost components increase between adjustments to the extent that it causes an increase to the total rate of 3 percent or more, then an interim adjustment to the rates may be applied for and made.

 

3.          The resulting percentage change shall be applied to all rates in Schedule 1 of Annexure "A" hereto.

 

4.          A variation to the rates shall not be retrospective in operation.

 

5.          The variation to the rates shall be effective from the date determined by the Industrial Relations Commission (such date should not be before one month after the Review Date), provided that principal contractors have sufficient time to give appropriate notice to their customers.

 

6.          The parties shall confer with a view to reaching agreement on any application for adjustment to the rates.
