18A  State reference public sector modern award terms giving FWA power to make take‑home pay orders
(1) A State reference public sector modern award may include terms that give FWA power to make an order (a take‑home pay order) remedying a reduction in take‑home pay suffered by an employee or class of employees as a result of the making of a State reference public sector modern award or the operation of any transitional arrangements in relation to the award (whether or not the reduction in take‑home pay is a modernisation‑related reduction in take‑home pay).
(2) An employee's take‑home pay is the pay an employee actually receives:
 (a) including wages and incentive‑based payments, and additional amounts such as allowances and overtime; but
 (b) disregarding the effect of any deductions that are made as permitted by section 324 of the FW Act.
Note: Deductions permitted by section 324 of the FW Act may (for example) include deductions under salary sacrificing arrangements.
(3) This Division applies to an employee or class of employees to whom a State reference public sector modern award applies if the employee or employees are likely to suffer a reduction in take‑home pay attributable to the making of a State reference public sector modern award or the operation of any transitional arrangements in relation to the award.
