 (b) a transitional award within the meaning of Schedule 6 to the Workplace Relations Act 1996;

 (a) a Division 2B State reference transitional award within the meaning of Schedule 2 to the Act; or

 (b) a transitional award within the meaning of Schedule 6 to the Workplace Relations Act 1996;

‘Part 3A—Avoiding reductions in takehome pay from modern award or transitional arrangements

 (1) A modern award may include terms that give FWA power to make an order (a takehome pay order) remedying a reduction in takehome pay suffered by an employee or outworker, or a class of employees or outworkers, as a result of the making of a modern award or the operation of any transitional arrangements in relation to the award (whether or not the reduction in takehome pay is a modernisationrelated reduction in takehome pay).

 (2) An employee’s or outworker’s takehome pay is the pay an employee or outworker actually receives:

 (a) including wages and incentivebased payments, and additional amounts such as allowances and overtime; but

 (b) disregarding the effect of any deductions that are made as permitted by section 324 of the FW Act.

Note: Deductions permitted by section 324 of the FW Act may (for example) include deductions under salary sacrificing arrangements.

 (3) This Part applies to an employee or outworker, or a class of employees or outworkers, to whom a modern award applies if the employee, employees, outworker or outworkers are likely to suffer a reduction in takehome pay attributable to the making of a modern award or the operation of any transitional arrangements in relation to the award.

13B  Orders remedying reductions in takehome pay

 (1) If FWA makes a takehome pay order under the terms of a modern award it must do so in accordance with this Part.

 (2) Without limiting the kind of takehome pay order that may be made under the terms of a modern award, one or more of the following orders may be made:

 (a) an order compensating a reduction in takehome pay that has already been suffered;

 (b) an order requiring the payment of an amount of takehome pay;

 (c) an order preventing a reduction in takehome pay from occurring.

 (3) FWA may make a takehome pay order only on application by:

 (a) an employee or outworker who has suffered a reduction in takehome pay; or

 (b) an organisation that is entitled to represent the industrial interests of such an employee or outworker; or

 (c) a person acting on behalf of a class of such employees or outworkers.

 (4) If FWA is satisfied that an application for a takehome pay order has already been made in relation to an employee or outworker, or a class of employees or outworkers, FWA may dismiss any later application that is made in relation to the same employee, employees, outworker or outworkers.

13C  Ensuring that takehome pay orders are confined to the circumstances for which they are needed

 (1) FWA must not make a takehome pay order in relation to an employee or outworker, or a class of employees or outworkers, if:

 (a) FWA considers that the reduction in takehome pay is minor or insignificant; or

 (b) FWA is satisfied that the employee, employees, outworker or outworkers have been adequately compensated in other ways for the reduction.

 (2) FWA must ensure that a takehome pay order is expressed so that:

 (a) it does not apply to an employee or outworker unless the employee or outworker has actually suffered a reduction in takehome pay; and

 (b) if the takehome pay payable to the employee or outworker under the modern award increases after the order is made, there is a corresponding reduction in any amount payable to the employee or outworker under the order.

13D  Takehome pay order continues to have effect so long as modern award continues to cover employee, employees, outworker or outworkers

A takehome pay order made in relation to an employee or outworker, or a class of employees or outworkers, to whom a particular modern award applies continues to have effect in relation to the employee, employees, outworker or outworkers (subject to the terms of the order) for so long as the modern award continues to cover the employee, employees, outworker or outworkers, even if it stops applying to the employee, employees, outworker or outworkers because an enterprise agreement starts to apply.

13E  Describing classes of employees or outworkers

 (1) Without limiting the way in which a class of employees or outworkers mentioned in items 13A to 13D may be described for the purposes of those items, the class may be described by reference to one or more of the following:

 (a) a particular type of employment;

 (b) a particular classification, job level or grade;

 (c) a particular entitlement;

 (d) a particular employer.

 (2) To avoid doubt, the description of a class is not required to include the names of the employees or outworkers, or the number of employees or outworkers, included in the class.

13F  Inconsistency with modern awards and enterprise agreements

  A term of a modern award or an enterprise agreement has no effect in relation to an employee or outworker to the extent that it is less beneficial to the employee or outworker than a term of a takehome pay order that applies to the employee or outworker.

13G  Application of provisions of FW Act to takehome pay orders

  The FW Act applies as if the following provisions of that Act included a reference to a takehome pay order:

 (a) subsection 675(2);

 (e) the reduction in the employee’s takehome pay is attributable to the order varying the modern award.

 (5) An outworker who is not an employee suffers a modernisationrelated reduction in takehome pay if:

 (a) FWA made an order varying a modern award; and

 (b) the modern award contains outworker terms and the outworker is a person to whom the outworker terms apply; and

 (c) the modern award:

 (i) starts to apply to the outworker when the award comes into operation; or

 (1) This item applies in relation to:

 (a) an enterprise agreement, or an enterprise agreement that is proposed to be varied, that is to be assessed under subsection 193(1) or (3) of the FW Act, for the purpose of determining whether it passes the better off overall test, during the period (the transitional period):

the enterprise agreement, or the enterprise agreement as proposed to be varied, does not pass the better off overall test.
