Have you implemented the C14 determination?
The C14 determination came into effect for the Horticulture Award this week on 1 April 2025, so if you are not already set up for this, now is your time to act.
The key points to know:
an employee cannot remain on Level 1 under the Horticulture Award 2020 for a period of longer than three months.
the three months is seen as three months experience in the industry – this means that experience with other employers in the industry counts.
the duties which were previously described only in Level 1 in the Awrad will now also be incorporated into Level 2.
once an employee has three months experience, they must be moved to Level 2 under the Award.
