Security industry annual wage review – transitional increases
| The ACTU seek a $26-a-week (0.68c per hour) increase to minimum award wages up to the tradespersons rate (Level 3 in the Security Service Industry Award 2010) and 3.8% for the Levels above that. Submissions by employer groups are arguing for increases of $14-a-week or less.
ADVERTISEMENT The rate increases sought from both groups are less than claimed last year, when for the first time in two decades the decision was for a percentage as opposed to a flat rate increase. History tells us that neither the ACTU nor the employer groups get what they seek and the Minimum Wage Panel will come down with a decision somewhere in between. As well as the Annual Wage Review employers will have to deal with increases arising from transitional arrangements. ASIAL is currently in discussions with the Fair Work Ombudsman to ensure members are provided with accurate information regarding wages and conditions. Members should ensure they login to the ASIAL Member webpage for further updates on Award variations and/or wage increases. |
