PART A
1. Title
This award shall be known as the Confectioners (State)
Training Wage Award.
2. Application
(a) Subject to
subclause (c) of this clause, this award shall apply to persons who are
undertaking a traineeship (as defined) and is to be read in conjunction with
the Confectioners (State) Award, or any legally registered award or any former
industrial agreement of the Industrial Relations Commission of New South Wales
which covers the terms and conditions of employment of persons performing work
covered by this award.
(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 Relevant NSW Training Authority; and
(ii) Ending upon
the expiry of one calendar month period immediately following the employer's
receipt of the Indenture Papers from the Relevant NSW Training Authority.
In any case, the duration for which this award may
provisionally apply shall be no longer than two calendar month, or such longer
period as may be required to accommodate a delay in processing the "Application
to Establish a Traineeship" which is beyond the control of the employer.
(c) The terms and
conditions of the award in subclause (a) or any former 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.
(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 Agreement registered with the
relevant NSW Training Authority. It
includes training undertaken both on and off-the-job in a traineeship scheme
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 clause 5(f).
Parent Award means an award that applies to a Trainee, or
that would have applied, but for the operation of this award.
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.
School Based Trainee is a student enrolled in the Higher
School Certificate or equivalent qualifications, 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.
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 an instrument which establishes a
Traineeship under the Apprenticeships and Traineeships Act 2001.
Training Plan means a programme of training which forms part
of a Training Agreement registered with the Relevant NSW Training Authority
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 Agreement 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 Agreement, 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 Agreement 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 traineeship
agreement 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, team work, using
technology), and an Australian Vocational 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 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 the 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 2.5 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 thirty six 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 Apprenticeships
and Traineeships Act 2001, or 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 Structured 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 shift work in order to ensure the training program is successfully
completed.
(ii) No Trainee
shall work overtime or shift work on their own unless consistent with the
provisions of the Parent Award.
(iii) No Trainee
shall work shift work unless the relevant parties to this award agree that such
shift work 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-shift work 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 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

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 3
continuous hours, except in cases where it is agreed that there shall be a
start of 2 continuous hours, on 2 or more days per week, provided that:
(i) a 2 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 5km 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 January 1 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 State Wage Case 2007. These adjustments may be
offset against:
(i) any
equivalent overaward payments; and/or
(ii) award wage
increases since 29 May 1991 other than safety net, State Wage Case, and minimum
rate adjustments.
(e) Appendix A
sets out the skill level of a Traineeship.
Where the actual traineeship is listed in Appendix A the rate of pay or
skill level in respect of the traineeship is determinative of the actual rate
of pay or skill levels (i.e. skill levels A, B or C) that are contained in the
Traineeship. Where a new traineeship
for the purpose of this award is established by the relevant authority, 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.
A trainee engaged in a traineeship prior to 22 April
2002, who is paid rates of pay or receives conditions that are better than the
rates of pay or conditions in this award, shall not be financially or otherwise
disadvantaged through the introduction of this clause and shall maintain their
existing rate of pay and/or prior conditions until the cessation of the
traineeship.
(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 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 per cent 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 per cent shall be deducted.
Note: 20 per cent 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 (h) above, 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 30 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 be 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 Training Contract
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’’ in therefore 7.6 x
12/24 = 3.8 hours.
‘’Trainee hours’’ totals 15 hours; these are made up of
11 hours work which is 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 Parent Award.
|
|
30.4
|
|
The wage rates 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’’ change.
8. Grievance
