Award Transport Allowance is applicable when the Payee is entitled to an allowance for business use of their private vehicle, where there is evidence of traceability between the current Award/industrial instrument the Payee is employed under to a historical award/industrial instrument that was in force on 29 October 1986.
For example, under the Stevedoring Industry Award 2020 [MA000053], a Grade 7 Stevedoring Payee is entitled to a Vehicle Allowance of $77.98 per week.
Award Transport Allowance uses the $ (or % of Rate Per Hour) set within the Pay Type, and Leave Entitlements are not applicable. Payments with this pay type are included in W1 (Total of Salary, Wages & other payments); however, they are not Taxable or Ordinary Time Earnings (OTE).
