         <description><![CDATA[<div>Awards have been the traditional means of establishing working conditions for employees. An award is a legally<br>binding agreement that sets out the minimum wages and conditions for a group of employees. Modern awards<br>came into effect on 1 January 2010. The ten matters that can be included in modern awards are listed in table<br>8.10. Some businesses will provide above-award payments, especially if they wish to attract more workers to<br>their ﬁrm or if they want to hold on to their existing staff. Awards have the following advantages. They:<br>• set a minimum for pay and conditions<br>• cover all employees performing a similar job.</div>]]></description>
