- location of time book, sheet or records required to be maintained under the applicable Federal or Queensland award and industrial legislation or other relevant employment law.
Unless the statutory declaration and information is provided, a tender will not be considered.
Service providers (including all parties in the contract chain) to Queensland government agencies and other signatories in the Textile Clothing and Foot wear Industry are required to adopt all aspects of the Code. They must also comply with the Queensland Government‘s purchasing policies, practices and tendering requirements when tendering to a government agency.
Service providers are to ensure that a copy of this Code is available to all parties in the contract chain.
Any service provider or any party in the contract chain who engages outworkers, must provide information to the outworkers about their employment entitlements as required by the applicable Federal or Queensland award or other relevant employment law, each time work is given out to a new worker, and obtain a signed statement from the outworker acknowledging receipt of the information. This information must be provided in the form required by the relevant applicable Federal or Queensland award or other relevant employment law.
Tenderers must provide evidence that all current outworkers have received this information when they lodge a tender. The evidence must be provided by way of a receipt which states that the workers have received this information, bearing the signatures of all current employees and outworkers of the tenderer, their contractors and sub-contractors at the time of the lodgement of the tender. A sample receipt has been prepared as an accompanying document to this code and can be obtained by contacting the Department of Employment, Training and Industrial Relations.
The tenderer may choose to have the union make a declaration on their behalf with respect to all the requirements of this clause to be included when lodging a tender. This declaration would substitute all other requirements for documentation under this clause in the tendering process.
