Mr Chifley. . Mr Chifley said the following points should be considered:— (1) Minimum award rates must be guaranteed under any plan.(2) Provision must be made .for shift premiums, penalty and overtime rates and all special award payments. (3) Legitimate claims for wage increases, improved working conditions and other employee benefits should not be prejudiced. . (4) The plan must be sufficiently simple for the employees to see the relationship between their actual working performance and the bonuses they received; otherwise it would be treated with suspicion.
