Transport Industry - Car Carriers (NSW) Contract Determination

 

INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS COMMISSION OF NEW SOUTH WALES

 

Application by The Australian Industry Group New South Wales Branch, Industrial Organisation of Employers and State Peak Council.

 

(No. IRC 945, 1698 and 1784 of 2009)

 

Before Commissioner Connor

3 December 2009

 

AWARD

 

1.        Delete paragraph (a) of subclause (i) of clause 7, Other Conditions, of the award published 11 July 2008 (366 I.G. 274) and insert in lieu thereof the following:

 

(a)      The Principal Contractor may (subject to notice of two weeks) deduct the sum of $258.31 for each incident involving a car or cars under the care or control of the Contract Carrier being damaged and the sum of $258.31 for each car from which an item becomes missing while the car is under the care or control of the Contract Carrier and the sum of $258.31 for each car which has damage or from which an item is missing (being damage of the kind referred to in Clause 5(i)(i) which is not noted on the initial survey).  In the event that repair and/or replacement costs are less than $258.31, the lesser amount shall be paid to the Contract Carrier. The amount in this clause ($258.31) shall be adjusted at the same percentage as the rate adjustment applicable within this determination.

 

2.        Delete subclause (vii) of clause 8 Conditions, and insert in lieu thereof the following:

 

(vii)     The Principal Contractor may adjust the remuneration of the Contract Carrier by way of deducting any amount properly payable by the Contract Carrier which has been incurred by the Contract Carrier in the name of the Principal Contractor; and the Principal Contractor may withhold payment from the Contract Carrier’s remuneration of the amount of $309.96 for a maximum of three months on the Contract Carrier ceasing to undertake work for the Principal Contractor, to enable the final adjustment to be made under this subclause. The Principal Contractor shall pay the balance of the remuneration due to the Contract Carrier not later than on the expiry of the period of three months. The $309.96 amount referred to in this clause shall be adjusted by an amount equal to the overall percentage variation to rates of remuneration as provided by this determination.

 

3.        Delete Schedule 1 - Rates of Remuneration of the Transport Industry - Car Carriers Contract Determination, as varied and insert in lieu thereof the following:

 

SCHEDULE 1

 

RATES OF REMUNERATION

 

(i)       This schedule contains the following tables:

 

Table A - Rates of remuneration for local and interstate work where the contract carrier supplies the prime mover only.

 

Table B - Rates of remuneration for local and intrastate work where the contract carrier supplies both the prime mover and the trailer.

 

Table C - Rates of remuneration for local and intrastate work where the contract carrier supplies the prime mover and the tyres for the principal contractor's trailer.

 

Table D - Rates of remuneration for Port Kembla Work (including the base rate of remuneration for Port Kembla Work - also referred to as the "Connor Rate") where the contract carrier supplies the prime mover only.

 

Table E - Rates of remuneration for Port Kembla Work where the contract carrier supplies both the prime mover and trailer.

 

Table F: Rates of remuneration for Port Kembla Work where the contract carrier supplies both the prime mover and the tyres for the principal contractor’s trailer.

 

Table G: Deemed distances to apply for common trips from the Sydney Metropolitan Area to towns within the State of New South Wales, for the purpose of calculating intrastate remuneration.

 

Table H: Deemed distances to apply for common trips originating and terminating in the Sydney Metropolitan Area and passing through towns within the State of New South Wales, for the purposes of calculating intrastate remuneration.

 

(ii)       Where:

 

(a)      a carrier performs a contract of carriage within the area, incidence and duration of this determination; and

 

(b)      the carrier is eligible to claim a rebate pursuant to the Commonwealth Government’s Energy Grants (Credits) Scheme (‘the scheme’) for that contract of carriage; and

 

(c)      the carrier has been requested to apply for the rebate pursuant to the scheme by the principal contractor;

 

the principal contractor may reduce the cartage rates payable in Tables "A", "B", "C", "D", "E" and "F" of Schedule I of this determination up to a maximum reduction of 2.03% of the otherwise payable to the carrier for the performance of that contract of carriage.

 

(iii)      Should a carrier become ineligible to claim a rebate pursuant to the scheme or the scheme is abolished then the principal contractor shall not be permitted to reduce the cartage rates pursuant to subclause (ii).

 

(iv)      Should the scheme be abolished or altered or modified leave is reserved to the parties to make application in relation to subclauses (ii) and (iii).

 

(v)      To ensure clarity, the method for calculation of the diesel fuel rebate reduction percentage is contained in the following example:

 

The reduction is calculated by comparing the Caltex Metro Card Price, excluding GST for Diesel Low-Sulfur, Sydney Metropolitan with the rebate.1  If the carrier is eligible for the 16.443 cents per litre rebate this equates to an effective 11.53% rebate in total fuel costs.2   When the current weighting for fuel is adjusted in respect of the percentage change in the fuel benchmark, the new weighting becomes 15.44%.3  The actual fuel weighting for a carrier able to claim the rebate is calculated by determining what 11.53% of the new weighting is, which equates to 13.41.4  The difference between the reset weighting 15.44 and the actual weighting 13.41 allows the principal contractor to make a net reduction of 2.03%.5

 

(vi)      The rates contained within this schedule shall take effect on and from the first full pay period to commence on or after 25 February 2009.

 

________________________________

 

¹  125.2 cents per litre, less 1/11th  GST  =  113.82 cents per litre.

 

²  (113.82-16.443)/113.82  =  85.55% of fuel bill or 11.53% reduction

 

³  15.84  x  114.45% = 15.67

 

4  15.67  x  (88.55/100)  =  13.41

 

5  15.44  -  13.41  =  2.03%
