The only exception is where we give you or written permission. We will do this if we are of the opinion that such permission will not harm our business, or effect your ability to carry out your work for us, or affect any other matters in this Agreement. If reversing accepted notions of the employer to provide the necessary training or clothing are part of the aims of the current government, then let them be up front and honest about it rather than erode the entitlements of employees through the stealth of forced AWAs. Where the issue of paid training or clothing supply has been argued out before the independent umpire, the results are quite different to the retrograde position reached in examples such as that which follow. Where ongoing training is required in accordance with employment pre-requisites, to maintain qualifications, employees shall perform this training at their own time and expense.
