Before Commissioner Sloan

VARIATION

 

1.        In the Arrangement of the contract determination published 11 July 2008 (366 I.G. 274), insert after clause 8, Conditions (Rates of Remuneration), the following new clause:

 

8A.      Deemed Distances

 

2.        Delete the amount of $280.98 wherever it appears in paragraph (a) of subclause (i) of clause 7, Other Conditions, and insert in lieu thereof the amount of $306.44.

 

3.        Insert after paragraph (c) of subclause (i) of clause 7, Other Conditions, the following new paragraph:

 

(d)      Where authorised in writing by the Contract Carrier, the Principal Contractor may deduct from any remuneration payable to the Contract Carrier an amount equal to payments made by the Principal Contractor for fuel supplied for the benefit of the Contract Carrier.

 

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

 

(i)       The Principal Contractor shall, subject to any adjustment provided for in this determination, including clause 8(A) Deemed distances, pay to a Contract Carrier for intrastate work the rate of remuneration per kilometre shown in Schedule 1 for a vehicle with the capacity of the Contract Carrier's vehicle for each kilometre necessarily travelled to the destination and return.

 

5.        Delete the amount of $337.17 wherever it appears in subclause (vii) of clause 8, Conditions, and insert in lieu thereof the amount of $367.71.

 

6.        Insert after clause 8, Conditions, the following new clause:

 

8A.  Deemed Distances

 

(i)       Subject to clause 8A(iii) and 8A(iv), the Principal Contractor may calculate any payment for intrastate work involving the transportation of freight between the locations identified in tables G, H, I and J in Schedule 1 based on the deemed distances specified in those tables. This will apply both in circumstances where a principal contractor pays a contractor at the minimum rates of remuneration provided in the contract determination or at a rate that is higher than that prescribed by the contract determination.

 

(ii)      Where, at the instruction of a Principal Contractor, a Contract Carrier performs work in the course of a contract of carriage that is in connection with the performance of a journey identified in tables G, H, I or J in Schedule 1 and the Principal Contractor requires the Contract Carrier to travel significant additional kilometres to the deemed distances specified in such tables because the Contract Carrier:

 

(a)       was instructed to part-unload or load before they will be paid the kilometres necessarily travelled between the starting point and destination designated by the principal contractor; or

 

(b)      was required at law to undertake a 4.6 Metre Route in order to complete the contract of carriage and had advised the Principal Contractor of this before undertaking such a route; or

 

(c)       deviates from the generally accepted or Principal Contractor designated route due to impassable roads or some other reason agreed to by the Principal Contractor, provided:

 

a.         the Contract Carrier has first obtained the agreement of the Principal Contractor to undertake such deviation or is instructed to undertake such a deviation; and

 

b.        The Contract Carrier Complies with any reasonable instruction from the Principal Contractor as to the performance of the contract of carriage;

 

the Principal Contractor will pay to the Contract Carrier the rate of remuneration per kilometre shown in Schedule 1 for a vehicle with the capacity of the Contract Carrier's vehicle for each additional kilometre necessarily travelled at the request of the Principal Contractor

 

(iii)     A Contract Carrier may raise a concern with the Principal Carrier that engages them that a route that they are required to travel in order to complete a journey identified in tables G, H or I by travelling the number of kilometres contemplated in such tables poses a risk to their safety or that of other road uses. Any such concern must be discussed with the Contract Carrier, along with the TWU if requested by the Contract Carrier, and considered promptly and genuinely. This must include the Principal Contractor considering whether a Contract Carrier should be permitted to take an alternate route in order to avoid such alleged risks and consequently be paid for any additional kilometres necessarily travelled. Any dispute about such matters must be dealt with in accordance with the dispute procedure contained in clause 4(v) of this contract determination.

 

(iv)     If, due to development of new or improved roads, it becomes possible for a Contract Carrier to undertake any of the journeys identified in tables G, H or I by travelling less kilometres than assumed in such tables the Principal Contractor apply such lesser number of kilometres in lieu of the number specified in such tables provided:

 

a.        The Principal Contractor has advised the TWU of the number of kilometres that it intends to apply (the nominated alternate kilometres) and the reason why; and

 

b.        The TWU does not reasonably dispute that the journey can be undertaken within the nominated alternate kilometres; and

 

c.        The Principal Contractor has advised relevant Contract Carriers, in writing, that the nominated deemed distances will be applied in the future.

 

7.        Insert after the last paragraph of subclause (i) of Schedule 1, Rates of Remuneration, the following new paragraphs:

 

Table I: Deemed distances to apply for common trips originating and/or terminating in Kembla Grange. These deemed distances are applicable only where the Principal Contractor’s terminal or depot was located in Kembla Grange on 1 July 2022 and this was the only terminal or depot operated by the Principal Contractor in NSW at that date.

 

Table J: Deemed distances to apply for common trips originating and/or terminating at Minto.

 

8.        Delete the amount of 1.84% in paragraph (c) of subclause (ii) of Schedule 1, Rates of Remuneration and insert in lieu thereof the amount of 0.81%.

 

9.        Delete subclauses (vi) and (vii) of Schedule 1, Rates of Remuneration, and insert in lieu thereof the following:

 

(vi)     Currently, the maximum reduction contained in subclause (ii) is calculated according to the following formula:

 

(d)      (126.09-17.8)/126.09) x 100 = (85.88%)

 

(e)       18.37 x (85.88%) = (15.78)

 

(f)       16.58 - (15.78) = 0.81%

 

(vii)    The rates contained within this schedule shall take effect from the first full pay period on or after 1 July 2022
