PAY AND CONDITIONS GUIDE
Vehicle Manufacturing, Repair, Services and Retail Award 2010

[MA000089] ('modern award')
replacing terms and conditions in or derived from
Vehicle Industry - Repair, Services and Retail - Award 2002
[AP824308] ('pre-modern award')
(ACT, NSW, QLD, SA, TAS, VIC)
Effective from 01 January 2014.
Published 16 January 2014
Background
This guide was developed by the Fair Work Ombudsman to assist employers and
employees covered by this modern award, pre-modern award and pay scales derived
from this pre-modern award to identify minimum wages, penalties, loadings and
allowances.
Transitional arrangements
Modern awards commenced operation on 01 January 2010. However, minimum wage,
loading and penalty entitlements commence from 01 July 2010. Almost all modern
awards include provisions to transition employers and employees from their pre-modern
award to the modern award system.
This modern award includes transitional provisions that provide for the phasing in of
increases or decreases in minimum wages, penalties and loadings in the modern award in
5 increments over 4 years from 01 July 2010. All other terms and conditions in this
modern award apply in full from 01 January 2010.
The rates in this guide are current from the first pay period on or after 01 July 2013.
The rates set out in this guide will change from the first full period on or after 01 July
each year to take account of Fair Work Australias annual wage review and transitional
arrangements. The rates may also change as a result of a Fair Work Australia decision to
vary the modern award or pay and condition entitlements of the modern award from time
to time.
Transitional arrangements for Division 2B State awards
Division 2B State awards (other than Division 2B enterprise awards) terminate at the end
of 31 December 2010 and, from 1 January 2011, employers and employees are covered
by the relevant modern award. However, most modern awards provide that all the terms
of Division 2B State awards continue to apply until the end of the full pay period which
started before 1 February 2011.
The employers affected include sole traders, partnerships, other unincorporated entities
and non-trading corporations in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and
Tasmania who are covered by a Division 2B State award.
Vehicle Manufacturing, Repair, Services and Retail Award 2010 [MA000089]
1
From the first full pay period starting on or after 1 February 2011, an employer who was
covered by a Division 2B State award, must comply with all of the terms and conditions
contained in their relevant modern award, and any transitional arrangements that apply.
Transitional arrangements in most modern awards for Division 2B State award employers
provide that from the first full pay period starting on or after 1 February 2011, they must
pay at least the same minimum wage rates, penalties and loadings as national system
employers who are transitioning from the equivalent NAPSA There are some exceptions
and special transitional arrangements that apply in certain situations. If you require help
determining whether these exceptions or special transitional arrangements apply to you,
please contact the Fair Work Infoline on 13 13 94.
Note: Modern awards are not intended to reduce an employees take-home pay. An
employee or his/her union can apply to Fair Work Australia for a take-home pay order to
remedy any reduction in his/her overall take-home pay.
Who should use the guide?
Employees and employers who were entitled to terms and conditions in or derived from
this pre-modern award and who are now covered by this modern award.
A guide that has an AP (Pre-reform award) code typically applies to employees employed
by a constitutional corporation. Usually these are companies that engage in trading or
financial activities. Private companies are often identified by the Pty Ltd in their name. It
applies to employers in those categories who were bound by the award immediately prior
to 01 January 2010.
A guide that has an AN (Notional agreement preserving State awards) code also typically
applies to employees employed by a constitutional corporation. However, unlike prereform awards these are notional federal agreements that were created on 27 March
2006. Generally, they preserved the terms and conditions of employment (not including
wage rates) in state awards and/or state legislation that applied immediately before 27
March 2006 to employees of constitutional corporations in NSW, QLD, SA, WA and TAS
where State award/laws applied to those employers prior to 27 March 2006.
A guide that has an AT code typically applies to employees employed by nonconstitutional corporations immediately before 27 March 2007 where the employer was
bound by a Federal award. These will be sole traders, partnerships, other unincorporated
entities or non-trading/financial corporations.
The guide contains information from this modern award about:
who the modern award covers;
wage rates, including rates for casual employees, junior employees, trainees and
apprentices;
penalty rates for working at particular times or under particular arrangements;
allowances; and
other conditions of employment.
What if an agreement applies to employees covered by the modern award?
Minimum wage entitlements in a modern award override lesser wage entitlements in an
agreement or contract of employment at all times, including agreements and contracts
that were made before the commencement of the Fair Work Act 2009. All employees
covered by the modern award must not be paid less than the rate of pay in the modern
award.
However, the penalty rates and allowances in the modern award do not apply to
agreement-covered employees, unless the agreement is read in conjunction with the
modern award (e.g. a pre-reform certified agreement (a type of collective agreement
made before 27 March 2006)).
If you require assistance with any provisions of this guide please contact the Fair Work
Infoline on 13 13 94.
Coverage
This award covers employers throughout Australia of employees engaged in vehicle
manufacturing/industry repair, services and retail, as defined, to the exclusion of any other
modern award and where the employers establishment, plant or undertaking is principally
connected or concerned with:
- selling, distributing, dismantling, wrecking, restoring, recycling, preparing for sale, storage,
repairing, maintaining, towing, servicing, and/or parking of motor vehicles of all kinds;
- operations or allied businesses concerned with selling, distributing or supplying running
requirements for vehicles;
- selling, handling, retreading, storing/distribution, fitting or repairing of tyres;
- repair and servicing of motor vehicles in the establishment of an employer not falling within
the establishments above but who is engaged in the motor vehicle rental business;
- manufacturing, assembling or repairing of carriages, carts, wagons, trucks, motor cars,
bodies, motorcycles, railway cars, tram cars, side-cars or other vehicles or parts or
components or accessories;
- manufacturing, assembling, fabricating, installing, servicing, maintaining, reconditioning or
repairing of engines or vehicle servicing equipment and agricultural machinery or implements
or the like where such employer immediately prior to 31 December 2009 was bound by
clause 1.5.4 (a) of the Vehicle Industry Award 2000;
- any operation concerned with roadside/mobile service; or
- driving school instruction.
For the purposes of coverage of this award:
- employees engaged in vehicle industry repair, services and retail means employees covered
by the classifications within this instrument - Vehicle Industry RS&R Employees applies; and
employees engaged in vehicle manufacturing means employees covered by the
classifications at clause 45 and for whom Section 2 applies.
Exclusions
This award does not cover:
- employees who are covered by a modern enterprise award, or an enterprise instrument
(within the meaning of the Fair Work (Transitional Provisions and Consequential
Amendments) Act 2009 (Cth)), or employers in relation to those employees;
- employees who are covered by a State reference public sector modern award, or a State
reference public sector transitional award (within the meaning of the Fair Work (Transitional
Provisions and Consequential Amendments) Act 2009 (Cth)), or employers in relation to
those employees;
- an employer who, on 31 December 2009 was engaged in the manufacture and/or assembly
of metal parts or accessories and was bound to observe the Metal, Engineering and
Associated Industries Award 1998; or
- an employee in a car park where their undertaking does not provide repairs, service and/or
servicing facilities of motor vehicles other than supplying petrol and oil.
Where an employer is covered by more than one award, an employee of that employer is
covered by the award classification which is most appropriate to the work performed by the
employee and to the environment in which they normally perform the work.
This award covers any employer which supplies labour on an on-hire basis in the industry set
out in this instrument in respect of on-hire employees in classifications covered by this
award, and those on-hire employees, while engaged in the performance of work for a
business in that industry.
This award covers employers which provide group training services for apprentices/trainees
engaged in the industry and those apprentices/trainees engaged by a group training service
hosted by a company to perform work at a location where the activities described herein are
being performed.
The award does not cover an employee excluded from award coverage by the Act.
Wages
This modern award includes transitional arrangements that apply to minimum wage
entitlements from the first pay period on or after 01 July 2010 until the first pay period on or
after 01 July 2014 (when modern award wages commence in full).
The following wage tables set out base rates of pay for classifications under the modern
award.
It also sets out how the modern award classification matches up with pre-modern award
classification. If there is no classification match the employee may be covered by another
pre-modern award, or another modern award, such as a modern award that covers the
employees occupation rather than the industry.
The base rates of pay in this guide include any applicable industry allowance. The base
rates of pay also include any increase from Fair Work Australias annual wage review.
For more information about transitional arrangements for minimum wage entitlements,
please visit www.fairwork.gov.au
Casual employees
The rates for casual employees set in the table below are minimum rates for ordinary
hours only.
Please visit www.fairwork.gov.au for information about penalty entitlements for casual
employees.
*Post 26 March 2006 employer
Wage rates for casual employees of employers that became part of the national system after
26 March 2006 do not include annual leave loading because those employees did not have a
pre-modern award entitlement to annual leave loading.
Adult
The rates in this guide are current from the first pay period on or after 01 January 2014.

A person employed by an employer under this award in the vehicle industry immediately
prior to entering into a training agreement as an adult apprentice with that employer, will
not suffer a reduction in their rate of pay by virtue of entering into the training agreement.
Please note: This modern award contains special provisions for school based apprentices;
these rates are not set out in this guide. For information about transitional rates for these
employees please visit www.fairwork.gov.au and/or contact the Fair Work Infoline on 13
13 94.
Trainee
This modern award incorporates trainee rates derived from the National Training Wage
Schedule (NTW Sch.), as adjusted from time to time.

Supported Wage
Please refer to clause Schedule D of the modern award.
For detail of the supported wage provisions see the full version of the modern award.
Penalties and Loadings (other than casual or part-time loadings for

ordinary hours)
Where an employee had an entitlement to a loading/penalty rate before 01 January 2010
that is exactly the same as the modern award loading/penalty entitlement the modern award
loading/penalty applies in full from 01 January 2010.
Transitional arrangements
This modern award includes transitional arrangements that apply to loading/penalty
entitlements where there is a difference in modern award and pre-modern award loading/
penalty entitlements. Transitional arrangements apply from the first pay period on or after
01 July 2010 until the first pay period on or after 01 July 2014 (when modern award
loadings/penalties apply in full).
Different arrangements apply depending on whether the entitlements are equivalent or
not.
A pre-modern award loading/penalty will be equivalent to a modern award entitlement
where the loading/penalty applies:
for the same purpose (e.g. Saturday penalty);
for the same time periods; and
in the same way#.

#A pre-modern award and modern award loading/penalty applies in the same
way if the entitlements are both:
paid at the same frequency, such as per hour or per shift; and
paid as a percentage of the same amount (e.g. both penalties are paid
as a percentage of the employees classification rate, rather than as a
percentage of a different amount or paid as a flat dollar amount).
Casual loadings and penalties also need to interact with each other in the same way in the
pre-modern award and modern award to be equivalent (e.g. the loading and penalty rate are
calculated on the base hourly rate in both instruments).
Equivalent entitlements
If the pre-modern award loading/penalty rate is equivalent to the modern award loading/
penalty rate the penalty rate is calculated as follows:
1. The difference between the two loading/penalty rates is referred to as a transitional
percentage. The transitional percentage stays the same every year.
2. A proportion of the transitional percentage is calculated each year as follows:
First full pay period on or after
01 July 2010
01 July 2011
01 July 2012
01 July 2013
01 July 2014
Proportion of transitional percentage

80%
60%
40%
20%
0%
12
3. Where the modern award loading/penalty is higher, the penalty rate is obtained by
subtracting the proportion of the transitional percentage.
Example:
The table below shows the percentage penalty rates that apply from the first full pay period
on or after 01 July 2010 until the last full pay period before 01 July 2011 for common
penalty rates.
Please note the below table is a guide only and can only be used when the entitlements are
equivalent and the modern award penalty is higher.

Entitlements that are not equivalent

If pre-modern award and modern award penalty rates are not equivalent, the following
approach applies:
1. Loadings/penalty rates from a modern award are phased in from zero in five instalments
of 20% by multiplying the penalty rate by the following percentage:

New entitlements
Where an employee did not have a particular loading/penalty entitlement before 01 January
2010, the modern award loading/penalty is phased in from zero as a new entitlement from
the first pay period on or after 01 July 2010 by multiplying the penalty rate by the following
