Commonwealth Repealed Acts

This legislation has been repealed.

WORKPLACE RELATIONS ACT 1996 - SECT 190

             (1)  This section applies if:

                     (a)  the AFPC proposes to exercise any of the following powers (subject to subsection (4)):

                              (i)  adjusting the standard FMW;

                             (ii)  adjusting a preserved APCS;

                            (iii)  adjusting a new APCS; and

                     (b)  immediately after the exercise of the power takes effect, there will, under section 182, be a guaranteed basic periodic rate of pay (the resulting guaranteed basic periodic rate ) for a particular employee affected by the exercise of the power; and

                     (c)  immediately after the reform commencement (and after any relevant adjustments mentioned in sections 209 to 212 took effect), there would, under section 182, have been a guaranteed basic periodic rate of pay (the commencement guaranteed basic periodic rate ) for the employee if the employee had at that time been in his or her current circumstances of employment.

             (2)  The AFPC must ensure that the result of the exercise of the power, so far as it affects the employee, is such that the resulting guaranteed basic periodic rate of pay for the employee will not be less than the commencement guaranteed basic periodic rate of pay for the employee.

             (3)  In applying this section in relation to a particular exercise of a power by the AFPC, the effect of any other exercise of a power by the AFPC that takes effect at the same time must also be taken into account.

             (4)  This section does not limit the AFPC's power to adjust APCSs made for the purpose of section 220 before the repeal of that section by the Workplace Relations Amendment (Transition to Forward with Fairness) Act 2008 .
