The Award Safety Net of the Australian Industrial Relations Commission

20世纪90年代劳资关系的变化改变了澳大利亚劳资关系委员会在规定和影响雇佣条件方面的作用。它的奖项现在被描述为？安全网?并在很大程度上被注册协议所取代，成为约束雇主和雇员的法律文书。该项目侧重于安全网的剩余作用。它的目的是什么？调整的标准是什么？这些调整对实际工资、收入和就业有何影响？安全网与社会福利政策有何关系？

The industrial relations changes of the 1990s have altered the role of the Australian Industrial Relations Commission (AIRC) in prescribing and influencing the terms of employment. Its awards are now characterised as a ?safety net? and have, to a significant extent, been displaced by registered agreements as the legal instruments binding employers and employees. The project focuses on the remaining role of the safety net. What are its purposes? What are the criteria by which it is adjusted? What are the effects of the adjustments on actual wages, incomes and employment? How does the safety net relate to social welfare policies?
