As businesses turn their eyes towards productivity and efficiency, questions over the appropriate classification of employees are raised. ACAPMA is often asked: Which Award should Console operators be employed under?
While many retail fuel sites may view themselves as a shop that sells fuel the Awards are clearfuel retailing is a specific job classification that falls under the Vehicle Manufacturing, Repair, Services and Retail Award 2010. In fact, what many people think is the appropriate Award, the General Retail Award 2010, specifically EXCLUDES console operators (General Retail Award Clause 3.1 “does not includemotor vehicle retailing and motor vehicle fuel retailing”).
ACAPMA produces Quick Reference Guides on the Awards that apply to our industry and keeps members informed as to changes and requirements for compliance. ACAPMA is also running training that is open to members and the wider industry. Contact ACAPMA to learn more.
