4—Transitional provision

An assignment made under the principal Act before the commencement of this Act—

(a) assigning a District Court Judge to be the Senior Judge, or a Judge, of the Court; or

(b) assigning a magistrate to be an industrial magistrate,

continues in force, subject to the principal Act, as an assignment under the corresponding provision of the principal Act as amended by this Act.

Industrial and Employee Relations (President's powers) Amendment Act 1996

3—Cancellation of appointment

The purported appointment of the President of the Industrial Relations Commission of South Australia as a Commissioner is cancelled and is taken never to have been made.

Industrial Law Reform (Fair Work) Act 2005, Sch 1—Transitional provisions

1—Interpretation

(1) In this Schedule—

principal Act means the Industrial and Employee Relations Act 1994.

(2) Unless the contrary intention appears, terms used in this Schedule have meanings consistent with the meanings they have in the principal Act.

2—Enterprise Agreement Commissioners

A person holding office as an Enterprise Agreement Commissioner immediately before the commencement of this clause will continue as a Commissioner appointed to the Commission for the balance of his or her term of appointment as an Enterprise Agreement Commissioner (and is then eligible for reappointment under the principal Act as amended by this Act).

3—Term of office of other members of Commission

The amendments made to the principal Act by sections 12 or 15 of this Act do not apply to members of the Commission appointed before the commencement of this clause (and accordingly such a member of the Commission will cease to hold office at the end of the term for which he or she was appointed (unless the term comes to an end under the principal Act sooner) but the member will then be eligible for reappointment under the principal Act as amended by this Act).

4—Enterprise agreements

(1) The amendments made to the principal Act by section 32(2), 33(1), (2) and (4) and 35(1) of this Act do not apply with respect to any negotiations or proceedings to enter in an enterprise agreement being conducted or undertaken by an association that is not a registered association if the association was, before the commencement of this subclause, authorised to negotiate the agreement on behalf of a group of employees in accordance with section 75(2) of the principal Act (as in existence immediately before the commencement of this clause).

(2) The amendment made to section 81 of the principal Act by this Act does not apply with respect to the transfer of a business or undertaking that takes effect before the commencement of this subclause.

5—Awards

The amendment made to section 91 of the principal Act by this Act does not apply with respect to the transfer of a business or undertaking that takes effect before the commencement of this clause.

6—Registered agents

The term of registration of a person holding a registration as an agent immediately before the commencement of this clause will be taken to be 2 years from the date of that commencement.

7—Minimum standards

(1) Schedule 2 of the principal Act (and any determination of the Full Commission under that Schedule) will, despite the repeal of that Schedule by this Act, continue to have effect until the Full Commission establishes a minimum standard under subsection (3) of section 69 of the principal Act (as enacted by this Act).

(2) The President of the Commission must take reasonable steps to ensure that the first determination of the Full Commission under subsection (3) of section 69 of the principal Act (as enacted by this Act) is made as soon as is reasonably practicable after the commencement of this subclause.

(3) The President of the Commission must take reasonable steps to ensure that the Full Commission establishes the minimum standard contemplated by section 72B of the principal Act (as enacted by this Act) as soon as is reasonably practicable after the commencement of this subclause.

(4) Proceedings for the purposes of subclause (2) or (3) may be commenced by application by a peak entity, or by the Full Commission acting on its own initiative.

8—Other provisions

(1) The Governor may, by regulation, make additional provisions of a saving or transitional nature consequent on the enactment of this Act.

(2) A provision of a regulation made under subclause (1) may, if the regulation so provides, take effect from the commencement of this Act or from a later day.

(3) To the extent to which a provision takes effect under subclause (2) from a day earlier than the day of the regulation's publication in the Gazette, the provision does not operate to the disadvantage of a person by—

(a) decreasing the person's rights; or

(b) imposing liabilities on the person.

(4) The Acts Interpretation Act 1915 will, except to the extent of any inconsistency with the provisions of this Part, apply to any amendment or repeal effected by this Act.

Statutes Amendment (South Australian Employment Tribunal) Act 2016

69—Transitional provisions

(1) In this section—

determination has the same meaning as in the principal Act;

industrial authority means the Industrial Relations Court of South Australia or the Industrial Relations Commission of South Australia;

principal Act means the Fair Work Act 1994;

relevant day means the day on which this section comes into operation;

Tribunal means the South Australian Employment Tribunal.

(2) The Industrial Relations Court of South Australia and the Industrial Relations Commission of South Australia are dissolved by force of this subsection.

(3) The commencement of this subsection brings to an end the appointment of a person as a member of the Industrial Relations Court of South Australia or the Industrial Relations Commission of South Australia (as the case may be).

(4) No right of action arises, and no compensation is payable, in respect of an appointment coming to an end by virtue of the operation of subsections (3) and (4).

(5) However—

(a) subsections (2) and (3) do not affect appointment of a person as a member of the Tribunal before the relevant day; and

(b) in the case of a member of the Industrial Relations Commission of South Australia who, immediately before the relevant day, was not a member of the Tribunal—the person will be taken to have been appointed (by force of this subsection) as a Commissioner under the South Australian Employment Tribunal Act 2014 subject to the following provisions:

(i) the person's term of office will (subject to section 17 of that Act) be taken to be a period of 5 years from the relevant day;

(ii) the person's appointment will be on any conditions determined by the Governor and specified in an instrument executed by a Minister acting under this provision within 14 days after the relevant day.

(6) The salary and allowances of a person to whom subsection (5)(a) applies will not be reduced during the person's term of office as a member of the Tribunal.

(7) A person to whom subsection (5)(b) applies is not entitled, after the relevant day, to any salary, benefits or allowances on account of the person's position as a member of the Industrial Relations Commission of South Australia before the relevant day.

(8) However, the salary payable to a person to whom subsection (5)(b) applies as a member of the Tribunal cannot be less than the salary payable to the person as a member of the Industrial Relations Commission of South Australia immediately before the relevant day (unless the person requests or agrees to a change to the number of hours to be worked or to work on a sessional or other basis).

(9) In addition, a person to whom subsection (5)(b) applies will be taken to have continuity of service in all respects and will not be taken, for the purposes of any Act or law, to have resigned or to have ceased to hold any office for the purposes of any accrued or accruing rights or entitlements to any pension.

(10) Nothing in a preceding subsection is, in the case of a member of the Industrial Relations Commission of South Australia who, immediately before the relevant day, held an appointment as a member of an industrial authority under a law of the Commonwealth, intended to affect the person's position or status for the purposes of continuing to hold the appointment under that law of the Commonwealth.

(11) A determination of an industrial authority under the principal Act in force immediately before the relevant day will, on and from the relevant day, be taken to be a determination of the Tribunal.

(12) A right to bring proceedings before an industrial authority in existence under the principal Act before the relevant day (but not so exercised before that day) will be exercised as if this Part had been in operation before the right arose, so that the relevant proceedings may be commenced before the Tribunal rather than the industrial authority.

(13) Any proceedings before an industrial authority under the principal Act immediately before the relevant day will, subject to such directions as the President of the Tribunal thinks fit, be transferred to the Tribunal where they may proceed as if they had been commenced before that Tribunal.

(14) The Tribunal may—

(a) receive in evidence any transcript of evidence in proceedings before an industrial authority, and draw any conclusions of fact from that evidence that appear proper; and

(b) adopt any findings or determinations of an industrial authority that may be relevant to proceedings before the Tribunal; and

(c) adopt or make any determination in relation to proceedings before an industrial authority before the relevant day (including so as to make a determination in relation to proceedings fully heard before the relevant day); and

(d) take other steps to promote or ensure the smoothest possible transition from 1 jurisdiction to another in connection with the operation of this section.

(15) Nothing in this section affects a right of appeal to the Supreme Court against a decision, direction or order of the Full Court of the Industrial Relations Court of South Australia made or given before the relevant day.

(16) A reference in any instrument or enterprise agreement to the Industrial Relations Court of South Australia or the Industrial Relations Commission of South Australia will, unless the context otherwise requires, be taken to be a reference to the Tribunal.
