8.6      Employees are not permitted to work more than five consecutive hours without taking a break from duty of not less than thirty minutes. This break from duty is not a paid break.

 

8.7      Hours of duty are to be determined by a roster that must be displayed in an area available to all employees no less than 7 days before the beginning of the four-week roster cycle.

 

8.8      Rostered hours of duty may be required on any day of the week including Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays. Employees will not be rostered for duty on more than two weekends in any four-week roster cycle.

 

8.9      The distribution of weekend, Public Holiday and out-of-hours work will be allocated equitably between all employees subject to the ability of the Centre to meet client demand.

 

8.10    In emergencies, rosters may be varied by the Manager or Services Co-ordinator, provided that 24 hours' notice is given to the employee.

 

8.11    If an employee's rostered hours of duty are varied with insufficient notice, as required by subclause 8.10 of this clause, the employee will receive payment at the rate of double time for all hours which represent the difference between the hours of duty originally rostered and those being requested of the employee. The employee may choose to take time in lieu of payment of overtime.

 

8.12    Local arrangements to apply at particular Centres may be negotiated between an employee and the Manager or Services Co-ordinator.  All local arrangements must be documented and approved by the relevant Director.  The PSA will be informed about permanent or long-term arrangements.

 

8.13    Employees are entitled to a minimum 10 hour break from duty between the end of one shift and the beginning of the next.  If such a break is not provided, the employee is entitled to receive payment at overtime rates as calculated in accordance with Clause 9 for all work undertaken until a 10 hour break can be provided.

 

9.  Overtime

 

9.1      Overtime refers to:

 

(a)       hours of duty undertaken during a four week roster cycle in excess of 152;

 

(b)       hours of duty undertaken on days which are in excess of 10 days in any fortnight (.: the eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth or fourteenth days rostered in a fortnight);

(e)       hours undertaken on any consecutive days worked in excess of 10 days until such time as a break in duty occurs of a minimum of one full day.

 

9.2      Overtime will be paid to employees at double the ordinary hourly rate. This is calculated by dividing the weekly rate of pay (: annual salary divided by 52.17857) by 38.

 

9.3      Overtime will be paid in the first available pay period following the end of the roster cycle.

 

9.4      An employee may choose to take leave in lieu of payment for all or part of his/her overtime entitlement. Leave in lieu may be accrued to a maximum of 80 hours and is to be taken at a time convenient to both the employee and the Agency.

 

9.5      Leave in lieu of payment in accordance with subclause 9.4 will accrue at the rate of two hours for each hour overtime undertaken and proportionately for periods of less than one hour. Proportions of overtime of less than 15 minutes will be disregarded in determining the amount of accrued leave in lieu.

 

9.6      The minimum period of leave in lieu that an employee can take is two hours. Leave in lieu must be taken in full-hour multiples.

 

9.7      Any overtime accrued beyond 80 hours will be automatically paid to the employee.

 

9.8      Managers and employees should make every effort to ensure leave in lieu entitlements are utilised prior to the termination of services.  Payment for outstanding leave in lieu balances will only be made on the termination of the employee’s services in exceptional circumstances, such as death or debilitating injury or illness, that result in the sudden and early termination of the contract.

 

10.  Leave

 

10.1    Leave entitlements will be calculated in hours based on general Public Service leave provisions included in the Crown Employees (Public Service Conditions of Employment) Reviewed Award 2009.

 

10.2    All absences from duty will be determined based on the actual number of hours an employee is absent from duty and debited in multiples of two hours. Absences from duty, which do not total a multiple of two hours, will be rounded up to the nearest multiple of two hours for the purposes of debiting leave.

 

11.  Weekends and Public Holidays

11.2    The number of days to be worked to entitle an employee to accrue additional recreation leave refers to the actual number of days the employee is required to undertake duty on either a Saturday, Sunday or Public Holiday. It is irrelevant how many hours the employee is required to perform on those days.

 

11.3    For the purposes of rostering, Public Holidays will be credited as 8 hours even if an employee is not required to attend for duty or is required for duty for less than 8 hours on that day. If an employee is required to work on a Public Holiday for more than 8 hours, the actual hours of duty on that day will be credited against the roster.

13.  Public Service Holiday

 

13.1    All employees will be entitled to receive one day off duty each year as the "Public Service Holiday".

13.4    Employees will be advised of the date of the Public Service Holiday no later than 1 December each year.

18.6    The Chief Executive may refer the matter to the Industrial Relations Secretary for consideration.

 

18.7    If the matter remains unresolved, the Chief Executive shall provide a written response to the employee and any other party involved in the grievance, dispute or difficulty, concerning action to be taken, or the reason for not taking action, in relation to the matter.

 

18.8    An employee, at any stage, may request to be represented by the Association.
