This declaration shall not apply to a person with a disability who is eligible for a Disability Support Pension and who is employed by a supported employment service that receives funding under the Disability Services Act 1986 (Cth) to provide support for that person. [See Note 1 below.] 7. An employer who is making superannuation contributions into a complying superannuation fund, within the meaning of the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (Cth), on behalf of an employee covered by this declaration prior to the date of effect of this declaration is exempt from any provision in the award which specifies the fund or funds into which superannuation contributions are to be paid. [See Note 2 below.] 8. In the event of a dispute about the entitlement of an employer to set-off entitlements and benefits required to be provided under a contract of employment made prior to the date of this declaration against entitlements and benefits required to be provided under the Storage Services – General - Victorian Common Rule Award 2005, the matter may be referred to a Board of Reference consisting of a Member of the Commission which shall determine whether or not such a set-off should be permitted having regard to what is fair and equitable in all the circumstances of the case, without regard to technicalities and legal forms. An appeal lies from a decision of a Board of Reference to a Full Bench of the Commission. This clause shall apply for a period of twelve months from the commencement date of the Storage Services – General - Victorian Common Rule Award 2005. Any registered organisation bound by the terms of the Storage Services – General - Victorian Common Rule Award 2005 shall be notified of the time and date of hearing in relation to any application made pursuant to this provision. 9.

Disability Support Pension means the Commonwealth pension scheme to provide income security for persons with a disability as provided for under the Social Security Act 1991 (Cth), as amended from time to time, or any successor to that scheme. 2. The intention of this provision is limited to preventing the award from applying to sheltered workshops (i.e. supported employment services) - it does not prevent the award from applying to employees with disabilities in open employment. Storage Services - General - Award 1999 [AP796791CRV – Fed] 5 3.

Nor will there be any requirement for the existing arrangements to be the subject of an agreement between the employer and employees. For the avoidance of doubt, the exception continues to apply to employers who are making superannuation contributions to complying superannuation funds which are successor funds (as defined in Regulation 1.03 of the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Regulations 1994 (Cth), or as amended or replaced by other legislation) into which benefits are transferred, after the date of effect of the common rule declaration, in accordance with the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (Cth) and the Regulations thereunder.

The exception does not apply to new businesses which are established after the date on which the award is declared to have effect as a common rule. 4.

It does not apply to employers who are named respondents to the award or who are parties bound by virtue of the membership of an employer organisation. 5. The exception applies subject to any Commonwealth legislation to the contrary.
