4  First national minimum wage order does not have to set full range of special national minimum wages
(1) In its first annual wage review, FWA does not have to set a full range of special national minimum wages covering all the classes of employees referred to in paragraph 294(1)(b) of the FW Act.
(2) However, FWA must set a special national minimum wage for a class or subclass of those employees in its first annual wage review if the transitional national minimum wage order sets a special national minimum wage order for those employees.
Note: The transitional national minimum wage order is taken to have been made on the FW (safety net provisions) commencement day: see item 12.
(3) If FWA does not set a full range of special national minimum wages in its first annual wage review, the President of FWA must establish a process for the setting of the remaining special national minimum wages in FWA's second annual wage review.
(4) FWA may advise persons or bodies about that process in any way FWA considers appropriate.
(5) Section 625 of the FW Act (which deals with delegation by the President of functions and powers of FWA) has effect as if subsection (2) of that section included a reference to FWA's powers under subitem (4).
