Transition process for modern award wage rates

As part of the award modernisation process, the AIRC adopted a set of Model Transitional Provisions which deal with the commencement date for modern awards, and address matters such as transitional arrangements, take-home pay, over-award payments and the Fair Work Commission's (FWC) powers to review transitional arrangements. They are based on the assumption that the transitional provisions ‘should generally provide for phasing-in over a 5 year transitional period’.
