by an employer, or group of employers, employing not less than—

order that the applicant be re-employed by the employer in the applicant’s former position without prejudice to the former conditions of employment;

where it would be impracticable for the employer to re-employ the applicant in accordance with an order under paragraph (a), or such re-employment would not, for some other reason, be an appropriate remedy—order that the applicant be re-employed by the employer in some other position (if such a position is available) on conditions (if any) determined by the Commission;

an applicant’s level of remuneration (excluding overtime payments) immediately before the date of dismissal (when expressed as an annual amount) was at a rate in excess of—

(i)

in the case of a dismissal taking effect in 1992—$67 000 per annum;

(ii)

in the case of a dismissal taking effect in a subsequent calendar year—a sum arrived at by dividing the State average adult earnings as at 30 June in the preceding calendar year by State average adult earnings as at 30 June 1991 and multiplying the quotient by $67 000;
