This legislation has been repealed.

WORKPLACE RELATIONS ACT 1996 - SECT 866

             (1)  This section applies if:

                     (a)  the AFPC proposes to exercise its power under subsection 864(1) to adjust a preserved APCS; and

                     (b)  immediately after the exercise of the power takes effect, there will, under section 182, be a guaranteed basic periodic rate of pay (the resulting guaranteed basic periodic rate ) for a particular employee (within the meaning of this Division) in Victoria who is affected by the exercise of the power; and

                     (c)  immediately after the reform commencement (and after any relevant adjustments mentioned in sections 209 to 212 took effect), there would, under section 182, have been a guaranteed basic periodic rate of pay (the commencement guaranteed basic periodic rate ) for the employee if the employee had at that time been in his or her current circumstances of employment.

             (2)  The AFPC must ensure that the result of the exercise of the power, so far as it affects the employee, is such that the resulting guaranteed basic periodic rate of pay for the employee will not be less than the commencement guaranteed basic periodic rate of pay for the employee.

             (3)  In this section:

"basic periodic rate of pay" has the same meaning as in Division 2 of Part 7.
