1  Objects of Schedule

 (1) This Schedule provides transitional arrangements for certain employers (transitional employers) that were bound immediately before the reform commencement by an award (a transitional award), and their employees (transitional employees).

 (b) transitional employers and their employees are able to cease to be bound by a transitional award in appropriate circumstances, including by making agreements under State laws; and
