VARIATION

 

1.        Insert after definition of "Inclement Weather" of clause 3, Definitions, of the award published 20 March 2020 (387 I.G. 318), the following new definition:

 

"Materials" (see subclause 28.7) refers to the following items that form part of, or provide substantial input to the scope of works of the relevant maintenance or construction project and require specific transport to the worksite on a particular workday or shift. i.e. the employee has been given a direction by RMS to transport, including towing, the following construction and maintenance inputs:

 

·   cement, sand, bitumen or aggregate;

·    

·   structural steel, timber, dedicated road signage, bulk safety signage and road barriers, bulk quantities of fasteners, precast concrete and the like; and

·    

·   road rollers, graders, bulk tanker fuel, bulk emulsion and portable lighting towers.

 

(Note: The definition of materials does not extend to the following items which are tools of trade required by employees to undertake their daily work tasks. They are ancillary to the principal work tasks of maintenance and construction:

 

  • power and battery operated tools
  •  
  • quantities of spare personal protective equipment
  •  
  • packs of spray paint

·    

·   odd bags of cement, sand or aggregate and fastener consumables such as nails screws and bolts that are generally "kitted" in an RMS vehicle.)

 

2.        Delete subclause 4.2 of clause 4, Area, Incidence and Duration, and insert in lieu thereof the following:

 

4.2      This Award shall commence from 1 July 2019 and shall have a nominal expiry date of 30 June 2022. This Award rescinds and replaces the Roads and Maritime Services (Wages Staff) Award 2017 published 9 February 2018 (382 I.G. 538).

 

3.        Delete subclause 5.1 of clause 5, No Extra Claims, and insert in lieu thereof the following:

 

5.1      Other than as provided for in the Industrial Relations Act 1996 and the Industrial Relations (Public Sector Conditions of Employment) Regulation 2014, there shall be no further claims/demands or proceedings instituted before the NSW Industrial Relations Commission for extra or reduced wages, salaries, rates of pay, allowances or conditions of employment with respect to the employees covered by the Award that take effect prior to 30 June 2022 by a party to this Award.

 

4.        Delete subclause 15.2 of clause 15, Hours of Work, and insert in lieu thereof the following:

 

15.2    A normal working cycle consists of 76 hours during a 10 day fortnight and:

 

(a)       is 9 working days within a 10 day, two week period,

 

(b)      is 8 hours 27 minutes worked each day between 6.00am and 6.00pm. However, an Employee(s)’s normal commencement time may be altered by agreement between the local manager and the majority of staff to allow the Employee(s) to commence their ordinary hours of work at 5.00am. The reason for such change may include, wanting to leave work early on a day before a gazetted public or local public holiday or if it is anticipated the day in question may be an extremely hot day.

 

(c)       during this cycle 0.88 of one hour (53 minutes) of each day worked is accrued. This entitles an Employee to one day off in each two week cycle, known as an "Accrued Day Off (ADO)". Wages for accrued time are paid in the period during which it was accrued.

 

5.        Delete subclause title 15.5 of clause 15, Hours of Work, and insert in lieu thereof the following:

 

15.5    Alternative Arrangements

(i)       19 working days within a 20 day, four week period,

 

7.        Delete subclauses 16.1, 16.2 and 16.3 of clause 16, Accrued Day Off, and insert in lieu thereof the following:

 

16.1    If an Employee works a 19 day cycle under an alternative arrangement pursuant to subclause 15.5, they will receive one day off in each 20 day, four week cycle.

 

16.2    If an Employee works a 4 day week they will receive two additional days off (making a total of four) in each 20 day, four week cycle.

 

16.3    For accrual purposes:

 

(a)       each day of paid leave an Employee takes pursuant to subclause 15.2 (normal working cycle) or subclause 15.5 (Alternative Arrangements), is counted as a working day.

 

(b)      any public holidays occurring pursuant to subclause 15.2 (normal working cycle) or subclause 15.5 (flexible arrangements), is counted as 8 hours 27 minutes.

 

8.        Delete paragraph 20.7 (a) of clause 20, Overtime, and insert in lieu thereof the following:

 

(a)       Subject to subclauses 20.7(c), (e) and (f), an Employee who has worked overtime and has not had 10 consecutive hours off duty after finishing the Employee’s last shift, must have 10 consecutive hours off duty prior to recommencing work after the end of the first sentence insert a new sentence as follows. Prior to commencement of ordinary hours following the overtime worked, managers must refer to the Fatigue Management Policy.

12.      Delete subclause 28.1 of clause 28, Transport Provided by RMS, and insert in lieu thereof the following:

 

28.1    This clause does not apply to Broken Hill Workshop Employees or Routine Maintenance workers.

 

13.      Delete subclause 45.3 of clause 45, Public Holidays, and insert in lieu thereof the following:
