The agreed Key Minimum Classification in this Award is Attendant (3rd year of employment and thereafter) 2. The Work Related Allowances - the percentage increase in: • Clause 15. – Special Rates and Provisions • Clause 16. - Wages is derived from $17 divided by $553.10 equals 3.07% (2005) and $20 divided by $570.10 equals 3.51% (2006) as prescribed by Principle 5. Adjustment of Allowances and Service Increments of the State Wage Case. “allowances which relate to work or conditions which have not changed and service increments may be adjusted as a result of the arbitrated safety net increase … the method of adjustment shall be that such allowances and service increments should be increased by a percentage derived as follows: divide the monetary safety net increase by the rate for the key classification in the relevant award immediately prior to the application of the safety net increase to the award rate and multiply by 100.” 3. For Expense Related Allowances: • Clause 8. – Overtime has been varied for the CPI Meals Out and Take Away Food - Perth for the period December 2004 to June 2006 giving the percentage of 6.19%.
