[2] By amending Schedule C to read as follows:

SCHEDULE C – EARLY YEARS QUALITY FUND WAGES SCHEDULE

C.1 The Event is defined as government funding (the Early Years Quality Fund or its successor) directed at the Employer which is provided to fund the wage increases to eligible Employees in this schedule.

C.2 The Event occurs once the Employer is approved to call on the Early Years Quality Fund and the funding agreement commences.

C.3 From the first full pay period following the occurrence of the Event, eligible Employees’ base rate of pay shall be calculated as follows:

(a) the amounts specified in clause 12 of this Agreement for the applicable classification including any all-purpose allowances; and

(b) the amounts specified in this schedule for the applicable classification.

C.4 The base rate of pay referred to in clause C.3 shall be the all-purpose rate for the purposes of calculating any penalty or overtime payments provided for in the Agreement.

C.5 For the purposes of clause C.3(a), if immediately prior to the approval of this agreement an employee was receiving a base rate of pay that was in advance of the applicable wage rate, irrespective of the source of that entitlement, the rate for the purposes of clause C.3(a) shall be the amounts specified in clause 12 of this Agreement for the applicable classification including any all-purpose allowances, plus an amount proportionate to any previous over award payment.
