vary any provision of the award that, by its terms or operation, has a direct
or indirect discriminatory effect.

These provisions may be varied by agreement between
Flyash and the majority of employees concerned to suit work requirements,
provided that employees shall not work continuously for more than 6 hours
without a meal break.
(iii) When overtime
is necessary it shall, wherever reasonably practicable, be so arranged that
employees have at least ten consecutive hours off duty between the work on

commencement of their ordinary work on the next day that they has not had at
least ten consecutive hours off duty between those times shall, subject to this
sub-clause, be released without loss of ordinary pay for such absence.
If, on the instructions of Flyash, such employee
resumes or continues work without having had such ten consecutive hours off
duty, they shall be paid at double rates until they are released from duty for
such period and they shall then be entitled to be absent until they has had ten
consecutive hours off duty without loss of pay for ordinary working time during
such absence.
The provisions of this sub-clause shall apply in the
case of shift workers as if eight hours were substituted for ten when overtime
is worked.
12. Meal Money
(i) Any employee
required to work overtime for more than one and one half hours after their ordinary

day or shift that they would be required to work overtime, shall be paid the

second or subsequent break shall again be paid that amount.
(ii) If an
employee, pursuant to notice, has provided a meal or meals and is not required
to work overtime the employee shall be paid as prescribed by subclause (i).
13. Holidays

the amount which ordinarily would have been paid had the day been a working
day, shall be made for the following days:
New Year's Day, Australia Day, Good Friday, Easter
Saturday, Easter Monday, Anzac Day, Queen's Birthday, Christmas Day, Boxing
Day, Labour Day and any other gazetted holidays. In addition to the above
holidays an additional day shall be granted and taken on the first Monday in
December each year or as otherwise agreed.
(ii) This
provision for payment does not apply to a shift worker who is rostered on for
duty on a holiday and fails to report, or employees absent without leave or
reasonable excuse on the working day preceding or the working day succeeding a
holiday.
(iii) Time worked
on holidays shall be paid for at double time and one half the ordinary rate of
pay.
14. Sick Leave
(i) An employee
who, after not less than three months' continuous service with Flyash is unable
to attend for duty during their ordinary working hours by reason of personal
illness or personal incapacity not due to their own serious and wilful
misconduct, shall be entitled to be paid at ordinary time rates of pay for the
time of such non-attendance subject to the following:
(a) The employee
shall not be entitled to paid leave of absence for any period in respect of
which they are entitled to workers' compensation.
(b) They shall as
soon as is reasonably practicable or within eight hours of the commencement of
such absence inform Flyash of their inability to attend for duty and as far as
possible state the nature of the illness or incapacity and the estimated
duration of same.
(c) They prove to
the satisfaction of Flyash (or in the event of a dispute the Industrial
Relations Commission of New South Wales) that they are or were unable on
account of such illness or incapacity to attend for duty on the day or days for
which payment under this clause is claimed.
(d) Subject to the
provisions of paragraph (e) hereunder an employee shall be entitled in each
year of continuous service to sick pay for a maximum period of 10 days.
(e) The rights
under this clause shall accumulate from year to year so long as employment
continues with Flyash whether under this or any other award.
(f) For the
purpose of this clause continuous service shall be deemed not to have been broken
by:
(1) any absence
from work on leave granted by Flyash; or
(2) any absence
from work by reason of personal illness, injury or other reasonable cause
(proof whereof shall in each case be upon the employee);
(3) provided that any
time so lost shall not be taken into account in computing the qualifying period
of three months.
15. Bereavement Leave
An employee shall be entitled to two (2) days' leave without
loss of pay on each occasion of the death of the employee's wife, husband,
father, mother, brother, sister or child.
Proof of such death shall be furnished by the employee to the
satisfaction of Flyash. Provided however, that this clause shall have no
operation while the period of entitlement to leave under it coincides with any
other period of entitlement to leave.
Each case of bereavement will be dealt with on its merits by
Flyash and should an employee require further consideration than that provided
for above, application should be made to the relevant Manager.
16. Annual Leave

amended.

An employee required to attend for jury service:
(i) during their ordinary
working hours, or
(ii) immediately
following an ordinary night shift or immediately preceding an ordinary
afternoon shift on which the employee is rostered to work and, as a result of
attending for jury service, is not reasonably able to report for work on that
shift or afternoon shift as the case may be; shall be reimbursed by Flyash an
amount equal to the difference between the amount paid in respect of their
attendance for such jury service and the amount of wage they would have
received in respect of the ordinary time they would have worked had they not
been on jury service.
An employee shall notify Flyash as soon as possible of
the date upon which they are required to attend for jury service. Further the
employee shall give Flyash proof of this attendance, the duration of such
attendance and the amount received in respect of such jury service.

fixed.

right to dismiss any employee without notice for misconduct and in such cases
wages shall be paid up at to the time of dismissal only.
(iv) An employee
not attending for duty, except as provided by Clause 9, shall not be paid for
the actual time of such non-attendance.

20. Disputes
Procedure
(i) The purpose
of this provision is to seek to eliminate disputes which result in stoppages,
bans or limitations, especially those in the nature of a "protest",
and it is agreed that the parties to this award shall confer in good faith with
a view to resolving the matter by direct negotiation and consultation to enable
claims, issues and disputes to be progressed while work proceeds normally.
(ii) Subject to
the provisions of the Industrial Relations
Act, 1996 as amended, all grievances, claims or disputes shall be dealt
with in the following manner so as to ensure the orderly settlement of the

or dispute which arises shall, where possible, be settled by discussion on the
job between the employee or employees and the supervisor.

is not resolved at this level the matter will be further discussed between the

delegate will discuss the matter with Flyash's industrial relations
representatives.

done, to produce sustainable improvements in the competitive performance of the
business.
(ii) When redundancies
are to occur, Flyash will:
(a) call for
volunteers; and

volunteers unless to do so will leave the business without the necessary skills
to operate satisfactorily, then
if there are insufficient volunteers those to be made
redundant will be selected by Flyash by reference to their:
(c) skills;
(d) experience;
(e) training;
(f) performance;
and:
Having undertaken such an assessment, if it is
necessary to make redundant individuals that are comparatively equal in terms
of the assessment (unless some other pressing domestic issue is raised by the
individuals concerned) the employee with the shortest period of service will be
retrenched first.
(iii) Where Flyash
has made a definite decision to introduce major changes in production, program,
organization, structure or technology that are likely to have significant
effects on employees, Flyash shall consult with the employees concerned about
the changes and discuss the introduction of the changes, the effects the
changes are likely to have on them, measures to avert or mitigate the adverse
affects of such changes on them and shall give prompt consideration to matters
raised by them before any redundancies are affected.
