Award Modernisation Completed |
|
On 4 December, 2009 the final phase of award modernisation was completed with some 1560 state and federal awards covering 93 industries and occupations replaced by 122 modern awards.
A last minute amendment was made to the new Miscellaneous Award's coverage which now states that: "The award does not cover those classes of employees who, because of the nature or seniority of their role, have not traditionally been covered by awards including managerial employees and professional employees such as accountants and finance, marketing, legal, human resources, public relations and information technology specialists.”
