Excerpt from Living Wage (Adult Males), 1918
The fixation of the living wage in New South Wales is, by section 79 of the Industrial Arbitration Act, 1912, as amended, committed to the New South Wales Board of Trade.
The terms of the section are as follows: -
"79. (1) The Board of Trade shall, from year to year, after public inquiry as to the increase or decrease in the average cost of living, declare what shall be the living wages to be paid to adult male employees and to adult female employees in the State or any defined area thereof. In declaring such living wages, the Board of Trade shall make a separate public inquiry into the cost of living of employees engaged in rural occupations, and shall make a separate declaration as to the living wages to be paid to such employees, and shall declare what deductions may be made from such wages for board or residence or board and residence, and for any customary privileges or payments in kind conceded to or made to such employees.
"(2) No industrial agreement shall be entered into and no award made for wages lower than such living wages.
"(3) Any aged, infirm, or slow worker engaged in any rural occupation who may deem himself unable to earn the living wages declared by the Board of Trade may apply to the Registrar or to any person appointed by such Board for a permit in writing to work for less than the living wage. Copies of all such permits shall be forwarded to the Registrar, who may at any time cancel or amend the same."
The living wage had been previously fixed in 1914 by his Honor Mr. Justice Heydon, K.C., exercising the jurisdiction of Judge of Industrial Arbitration, and in 1915 and 1916 by the same Judge in conjunction with Mr. Justice Edmunds.
