61. Schedule "B" - Structural Efficiency
Agreement between Actors and Announcers Equity Association of Australia, The Licensed Clubs' Association of Australia and The Registered Clubs' Association of New South Wales pursuant to the principles outlined in the State Wage Case of October 1989.(a) The parties affirm their commitment to the Structural Efficiency Principle as contained in the State Wage Case decision of October 1989.
(b) The parties agree more over that the classification structure should be reviewed and that wage rates in the award need to be rationalised.
(c) As part of the ongoing process of modernising this award in accordance with the provisions of the October State Wage Case decision, The Registered Clubs' Association of New South Wales, The Licensed Clubs' Association of Australia and Actors and Announcers Equity Association of Australia have agreed to establish a working party to undertake a detailed review of the award.
(d) The parties acknowledge that the award is a recent award and does not contain a range of outdated and inefficient provisions. The nature of the industry, however, has meant that ensuring compliance with the award has been difficult. A review process of agent practices in New South Wales to which the respondents were party has produced legislative provisions which, when implemented will have a profound impact upon the way clubs employ and pay performers. This working party can play a major part in the implementation process.
Accordingly, the working party will examine a wide range of issues relating to the employment of performers by the respondents, including: investigating more flexible approaches to the employment of performers; development of means to ensure compliance with the award; the further development and monitoring usage of the standard contract.
(e) The working party will also consider: review of classifications structure and appropriate minimum rates of pay;possible efficiency measures to address inefficient work/management practices that may be identified; measures relating to training and skills enhancement and to improved career paths for performers; health and safety measures.
(f) The establishment of the working party is predicated on the understanding that: the discussion process is not to be approached in a negative cost- cutting manner; no employee will lose income as a result of any change; any agreement on change will be subject to ratification by the Industrial Relations Commission of New South Wales; and the parties will assist in the implementation of any change and attempt to ensure change takes place in an orderly manner.
(g) As the first step to implementing the decision of the State Wage Case of October 1989, the parties have agreed to: a first stage adjustment to rates of pay consistent with the State Wage Case principles. an initial revision of the classification structure in the award by deletion of the classification of square dance team member and aquatic performer; variation of the award to recognise recent legislative changes.
