COMMISSIONER GREGORY	MELBOURNE, 9 MAY 2013

Application for variation of the Mobil Altona Refinery Procurement Warehouse Improvement Agreement 2011.

[1] An application has been made for approval of a variation of the Mobil Altona Refinery Procurement Warehouse Improvement Agreement 2011 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.210 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by the employer party to the Agreement.

[2] I am satisfied that each of the relevant requirements of ss.210 and 211 of the Act have been met. I approve the variations which are as follows:

1. Delete Clause 8 - Remuneration Review.

2. Replace Clause 8 with the following:

“8. REMUNERATION REVIEW

The Company will remunerate its employees in a way that is in line with competitive practice for equivalent occupations in comparable companies in Australia, in the expectation that employees maintain the refinery’s cost structure and performance at competitive levels.

The following increases in wages will apply during the life of this Agreement:

5.7% effective on 1 April, 2011 (backdated to 1 March 2011)

5.5% effective 1 April, 2012

5 .0% effective 1 April, 2013

4.5% effective 1 April, 2014.

As soon as practicable after the date that this variation comes into operation, the employees will receive a payment for amounts due from 1 April, 2012 (that is, resulting from the specified increases for service on or after 1 April 2012).”

[3] The consolidated version of the Agreement, as varied, is attached to this decision. In accordance with s.216 of the Act, the variation operates on and from the date of this decision.
