While modern awards came into effect on 1 January 2010, the then Australian Industrial Relations Commission (AIRC) allowed for transitional arrangements over a five-year period to assist affected employers and employees in the move to the modern award system. Transitional arrangements in most modern awards meant that rates of pay and certain other conditions were phased in over time. The majority of these arrangements ended on 1 July 2014. The Fair Work Commission (FWC) has since made other rulings which have added further transitional arrangements to some awards. All employers and employees should consult their relevant modern award for specific transitional arrangements, including state-based differences. If you require assistance, contact the Fair Work Infoline on 13 13 94 or alternatively, speak to your trade union or employer organisation for advice.
