Qualifications, Certificates, Licence Fees and Insurance Allowance (S&W)
🎯 If you are unsure if this Allowance applies to your circumstances, please refer to the Payee's Employment Contract or obtain advice from the Fair Work Ombudsman.
Qualifications, Certificates, Licence Fees and Insurance Allowance (S&W) applies when the Payee is entitled to allowance Qualifications/Certificates, Licence Fees or Insurance, which the Payer deems that the amount payable has not been fully expended (the amount of money provided to cover the expense has not been completely spent). For example, under the
- Ambulance and Patient Transport Industry Award 2020 [MA000098], a payee who the employer requires to hold a current driving licence will be reimbursed annually in an amount equal to the sum of the licence cost divided by the term in years.
- Air Pilots Award 2020 [MA000046]. In addition to all other remuneration prescribed by this award, the Payer will pay each pilot on permanent hire an annual allowance of up to $2140.00 to assist the pilot in holding adequate insurance against loss of licence.
- General Retail Industry Award 2020 [MA000004]. The Payer must pay a Payee with a liquor licence under a relevant State or Territory law an allowance of $27.88 per week.
Payments with this Allowance use the $ (or % of Rate Per Hour) set within the Pay Type, and Leave Entitlements are not applicable. These payments are considered W1 (Total of Salary, Wages & other payments) and Taxable; however, they are not OTE (SGAA).
