Awards and Agreements


Awards

An award is a legal document setting out salaries and conditions of employment that apply to employees in a particular industry or occupation. The Tasmanian Industrial Commission (TIC) must approve all Awards registered with them for employees of the Tasmanian State Service. Further information regarding public sector awards is available on the Tasmanian Industrial Commission website, under 'Awards - Public Sector'.

Please note: Agreements contain additional information which may override certain clauses contained within particular awards. Therefore some awards must be read in conjunction with applicable agreements.

Agreements
