Commonwealth Repealed Acts

This legislation has been repealed.

WORKPLACE RELATIONS ACT 1996 - SECT 207

             (1)  This section applies at all times after the first exercise of powers by the AFPC under this Division takes effect. If the first exercise of powers involves the exercise of powers taking effect at different times, this section applies at all times after the earliest of those times.

             (2)  Subject to subsection (3), if:

                     (a)  there is an FMW for an employee at a particular time when this section applies; and

                     (b)  an APCS that covers the employment of the employee determines a basic periodic rate of pay for the employee at that time that is less than that FMW;

the basic periodic rate of pay determined by the APCS for the employee at that time is taken to be equal to the rate that is the FMW for the employee at that time.

Note:          This subsection ensures that the employee will, under subsection 182(1), be guaranteed a rate that equals the FMW rate, rather than the lower APCS rate.
