4. Coverage

[Varied by PR994514]

4.1 This industry award covers employers throughout Australia in the security services industry and their employees in the classifications listed in Schedule C - Classifications to the exclusion of any other modern award.

4.2 To avoid doubt, the security services industry includes:

(a) patrolling, protecting, screening, watching or guarding any people and/or property, including cash or other valuables, by physical means (which may involve the use of patrol dogs or the possession or use of a firearm) or by electronic means;

(b) crowd, event or venue control whether through physical or electronic means;

(d) the operation of a security control room or monitoring centre;

(e) loss prevention; and

(f) traffic control when it is incidental to, or associated with, the activities referred to in clauses 4.2(a), (b) or (c).

4.3 To avoid doubt, this award does not apply to an employer merely because that employer, as an incidental part of a business that is covered by another modern award, has employees who perform functions referred to in clause 4.2.

4.4 This award does not cover an employer in respect of:

(a) any cash - in - transit portion of the employer's business;

(b) the operation of prisons, correctional or other detention facilities;

(d) the installation, maintenance, repair or replenishing of ATMs.

4.5 To avoid doubt, the exclusion in clause 4.4(a) is not intended to exclude an employer from coverage of this award in respect of an employee merely because the employee collects, transports and/or delivers cash or valuables as a minor or incidental part of the employee's duties.

4.6 The award does not cover an employee excluded from award coverage by the Act.

[4.7 substituted by PR994514 from 01Jan10]

4.7 The award does not cover employees who are covered by a modern enterprise award, or an enterprise instrument (within the meaning of the Fair Work (Transitional Provisions and Consequential Amendments) Act 2009 (Cth)), or employers in relation to those employees.

[New 4.8 and 4.9 inserted by PR994514 from 01Jan10]

4.8 The award does not cover employees who are covered by a State reference public sector modern award, or a State reference public sector transitional award (within the meaning of the Fair Work (Transitional Provisions and Consequential Amendments) Act 2009 (Cth)), or employers in relation to those employees.

4.9 This award covers any employer which supplies labour on an on - hire basis in the industry set out in clause 4.1 in respect of on - hire employees in classifications covered by this award, and those on - hire employees, while engaged in the performance of work for a business in that industry. This subclause operates subject to the exclusions from coverage in this award

[4.8 renumbered as 4.10 by PR994514 from 01Jan10]

4.10 Where an employer is covered by more than one award, an employee of that employer is covered by the award classification which is most appropriate to the work performed by the employee and to the environment in which the employee normally performs the work.

NOTE: Where there is no classification for a particular employee in this award it is possible that the employer and that employee are covered by an award with occupational coverage. The Clerks - Private Sector Award 2010 will usually cover clerical employees of employers covered by this award.

5. Access to the award and the National Employment Standards

The employer must ensure that copies of this award and the NES are available to all employees to whom they apply either on a noticeboard which is conveniently located at or near the workplace or through electronic means, whichever makes them more accessible.

6. The National Employment Standards and this award

The NES and this award contain the minimum conditions of employment for employees covered by this award.

(a) by the employer or the individual employee giving four weeks' notice of termination, in writing, to the other party and the agreement ceasing to operate at the end of the notice period; or

(b) at any time, by written agreement between the employer and the individual employee.

(b) Significant effects include termination of employment; major changes in the composition, operation or size of the employer's workforce or in the skills required; the elimination or diminution of job opportunities, promotion opportunities or job tenure; the alteration of hours of work; the need for retraining or transfer of employees to other work or locations; and the restructuring of jobs. Provided that where this award makes provision for alteration of any of these matters an alteration is deemed not to have significant effect.

8.2 Employers to discuss change

(a) The employer must discuss with the employees affected and their representatives, if any, the introduction of the changes referred to in clause 8.1, the effects the changes are likely to have on employees and measures to avert or mitigate the adverse effects of such changes on employees and must give prompt consideration to matters raised by the employees and/or their representatives in relation to the changes.

(b) The discussions must commence as early as practicable after a definite decision has been made by the employer to make the changes referred to in clause 8.1.

(c) For the purposes of such discussion, the employer must provide in writing to the employees concerned and their representatives, if any, all relevant information about the changes including the nature of the changes proposed, the expected effects of the changes on employees and any other matters likely to affect employees provided that no employer is required to disclose confidential information the disclosure of which would be contrary to the employer's interests.

8.3 Consultation regarding change of contract

[8.3 inserted by PR993928 ppc 18Feb10; varied by PR515036 ppc 26Sep11]

In addition to clause 8 - Consultation regarding major workplace change, where a decision is made by an employer to relinquish a security contract, or a decision is made by a principal that is likely to bring about a change of contract, the following will apply:

(a) The employer is required to notify employees 28 days, or as soon as practicable, before an existing security contract is due to expire, or when the employer has been notified that the contract has been terminated.

(b) The notification to employees must be in writing, containing options (if any) for suitable alternative employment for employees with the employer in the event that the contract is terminated. The employer must notify those employees who are to be offered suitable alternative employment, identify the site, the hours of work and the rates of pay proposed. The employer must provide to the successful tenderer a list of employees who have given permission for their details to be so provided and who wish to be considered for employment by the incoming contractor.

(c) Employees who are not offered suitable alternative employment with their employer must be notified in writing by their employer, and the notice must contain details of the employee's entitlements (including accrued annual leave) and a statement of service (including length of service, hours of work, classification and shift configuration).

9. Dispute resolution

[Varied by PR994514]

9.1 In the event of a dispute about a matter under this award, or a dispute in relation to the NES, in the first instance the parties must attempt to resolve the matter at the workplace by discussions between the employee or employees concerned and the relevant supervisor. If such discussions do not resolve the dispute, the parties will endeavour to resolve the dispute in a timely manner by discussions between the employee or employees concerned and more senior levels of management as appropriate.

[9.2 varied by PR994514 from 01Jan10]

9.2 If a dispute about a matter arising under this award or a dispute in relation to the NES is unable to be resolved at the workplace, and all appropriate steps under clause 9.1 have been taken, a party to the dispute may refer the dispute to Fair Work Australia.

9.5 An employer or employee may appoint another person, organisation or association to accompany and/or represent them for the purposes of this clause.

9.6 While the dispute resolution procedure is being conducted, work must continue in accordance with this award and the Act.

10.1 Employees under this award will be employed in one of the following categories:

(a) full - time;

(b) part - time; or

10.2 At the time of engagement, an employer will inform each employee of the terms of their engagement and in particular whether they are to be full - time, part - time or casual. Such decision will then be recorded in a time and wages record.

10.3 Full - time employees

A full - time employee is an employee who is employed in a classification in Schedule C - Classifications and engaged to work 38 ordinary hours per week, or, where the employee is employed on a roster, an average of 38 hours per week over the roster cycle.

10.4 Part - time employees

(a) A part - time employee is an employee who is employed in a classification in Schedule C - Classifications and who:

(b) At the time of engagement the employer and the part - time employee will agree in writing on a regular pattern of work either:

(i) specifying at least the hours worked each day, which days of the week the employee will work and the actual starting and finishing times each day; or

(d) All time worked in excess of the hours as agreed under clause 10.4(b) or varied under clause 10.4(c) will be overtime and paid for at the rates prescribed in clause 23 - Overtime.

(e) An employee who does not meet the definition of a part - time employee and who is not a full - time employee will be employed as a casual employee.

10.6 Licensing

(a) This clause applies where State or Territory legislation making provision for the licensing of persons who perform work falling within the classifications in this award applies to an employer.

(b) It is the responsibility of the employer to ensure that an employee holds the appropriate licence for:

(i) the classification in which the employee is employed; or

(ii) the work the employee is required to perform.

11. Termination of employment

11.1 Notice of termination is provided for in the NES.

11.2 Notice of termination by an employee

The notice of termination required to be given by an employee is the same as that required of an employer except that there is no requirement on the employee to give additional notice based on the age of the employee concerned. If an employee fails to give the required notice the employer may withhold from any monies due to the employee on termination under this award or the NES, an amount not exceeding the amount the employee would have been paid under this award in respect of the period of notice required by this clause less any period of notice actually given by the employee.

11.3 Job search entitlement

Where an employer has given notice of termination to an employee, an employee must be allowed up to one day's time off without loss of pay for the purpose of seeking other employment. The time off is to be taken at times that are convenient to the employee after consultation with the employer.

12. Redundancy

[Varied by PR991944, PR994514, PR503618]

12.1 Redundancy pay is provided for in the NES.

12.2 Transfer to lower paid duties

Where an employee is transferred to lower paid duties by reason of redundancy, the same period of notice must be given as the employee would have been entitled to if the employment had been terminated and the employer may, at the employer's option, make payment instead of an amount equal to the difference between the former ordinary time rate of pay and the ordinary time rate of pay for the number of weeks of notice still owing.

12.3 Employee leaving during notice period

An employee given notice of termination in circumstances of redundancy may terminate their employment during the period of notice. The employee is entitled to receive the benefits and payments they would have received under this clause had they remained in employment until the expiry of the notice, but is not entitled to payment instead of notice.

12.4 Job search entitlement

(a) An employee given notice of termination in circumstances of redundancy must be allowed up to one day's time off without loss of pay during each week of notice for the purpose of seeking other employment.

(b) If the employee has been allowed paid leave for more than one day during the notice period for the purpose of seeking other employment, the employee must, at the request of the employer, produce proof of attendance at an interview or they will not be entitled to payment for the time absent. For this purpose a statutory declaration is sufficient.

(a) This clause applies in addition to clause 8 - Consultation regarding major workplace change of this award and s.120(1)(b)(i) of the Act, and applies on the change to the contractor who provides security services to a particular client from one security contractor (the outgoing contractor) to another (the incoming contractor).

(b) Section 119 of the Act does not apply to an employee of the outgoing contractor where:

(i) the employee of the outgoing contractor agrees to other acceptable employment with the incoming contractor; and

(ii) the outgoing contractor has paid to the employee all of the employee's accrued statutory and award entitlements on termination of the employee's employment.

(c) To avoid doubt, s.119 of the Act does apply to an employee of an outgoing contractor where the employee is not offered acceptable employment with either the outgoing contractor or the incoming contractor.

(ii) that would have entitled the employee to redundancy pay in excess of the employee's entitlement to redundancy pay, if any, under the NES.

(b) The employee's entitlement to redundancy pay under the notional agreement preserving a State award is limited to the amount of redundancy pay which exceeds the employee's entitlement to redundancy pay, if any, under the NES.

Schedule E - 2012 Part - day public holidays

[Sched E inserted by PR532630 ppc 23Nov12]

This schedule operates where this award otherwise contains provisions dealing with public holidays that supplement the NES.

E.1 Where a part - day public holiday is declared or prescribed between 7.00 pm and midnight on Christmas Eve (24 December 2012) or New Year's Eve (31 December 2012) the following will apply on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve and will override any provision in this award relating to public holidays to the extent of the inconsistency:

(a) All employees will have the right to refuse to work on the part - day public holiday if the request to work is not reasonable or the refusal is reasonable as provided for in the NES.

(b) Where a part - time or full - time employee is usually rostered to work ordinary hours between 7.00 pm and midnight but as a result of exercising their right under the NES does not work, they will be paid their ordinary rate of pay for such hours not worked.

(c) Where a part - time or full - time employee is usually rostered to work ordinary hours between 7.00 pm and midnight but as a result of being on annual leave does not work, they will be taken not to be on annual leave between those hours of 7.00 pm and midnight that they would have usually been rostered to work and will be paid their ordinary rate of pay for such hours.

(d) Where a part - time or full - time employee is usually rostered to work ordinary hours between 7.00 pm and midnight, but as a result of having a rostered day off (RDO) provided under this award, does not work, the employee will be taken to be on a public holiday for such hours and paid their ordinary rate of pay for those hours.

(e) Excluding annualised salaried employees to whom clause E.1(f) applies, where an employee works any hours between 7.00 pm and midnight they will be entitled to the appropriate public holiday penalty rate (if any) in this award for those hours worked.

(f) Where an employee is paid an annualised salary under the provisions of this award and is entitled under this award to time off in lieu or additional annual leave for work on a public holiday, they will be entitled to time off in lieu or pro - rata annual leave equivalent to the time worked between 7.00 pm and midnight.

(g) An employee not rostered to work between 7.00 pm and midnight, other than an employee who has exercised their right in accordance with clause E.1(a), will not be entitled to another day off, another day's pay or another day of annual leave as a result of the part - day public holiday.

This schedule is an interim provision and subject to further review.
