Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated Acts(1) An order for a new contract must be an order that the road transport business at the time of the termination enter into a new contract in the same terms as the services contract at the time of the termination or with such variations as the FWC considers appropriate.
(2) If:
(a) the road transport business at the time of the termination is no longer a road transport business; and
(b) an associated entity of the road transport business is a road transport business;
the order under subsection (1) may be an order to the associated entity to enter into a new contract on terms and conditions no less favourable than the services contract immediately before the termination, with such variations as the FWC considers appropriate.
Order to restore lost pay
(3) If the FWC makes an order under subsection (1) and considers it appropriate to do so, the FWC may also make any order that the FWC considers appropriate to cause the road transport business to pay to the person an amount for the remuneration lost, or likely to have been lost, by the person because of the termination.
(4) In determining an amount for the purposes of an order under subsection (3), the FWC must take into account:
(a) the amount of any remuneration earned by the person from work of any kind during the period between the termination and the making of the order that the road transport business enter into a new services contract with the person; and
(b) the amount of any remuneration reasonably likely to be so earned by the person during the period between the making of the order that the road transport business enter into a new services contract with the person and when the new services contract is entered into.
