In the event that an employer carries on separate and distinct businesses then workers of the type previously eligible to attract the “Clerical Staffs—office work”, or “Commercial Travelling”, tariffs are to each be allocated to one of those two or more separate and distinct businesses. Any such allocation will be on the following basis:

(a) if such a worker is occupied wholly or predominantly in just one of the employer’s separate and distinct businesses then the entire wages of the worker will attract the tariff classification premium rate appropriate to that business,

(b) if such a worker is occupied substantially in more than one of the employer’s separate and distinct businesses then the entire wages of the worker will attract the lowest tariff classification premium rate appropriate to the various business activities in which the worker is occupied. (In the event that those two or more separate and distinct businesses each have the same basic tariff rate then the worker’s entire wages will attract the tariff classification with the lowest rate number.)
