My question is specifically around overtime for casual employees.
29.2 -c - iii
(c) Hours worked by casual employees:
(i) in excess of 38 ordinary hours per week or,where the casual employee works in accordance with a roster,in excess of 38 ordinary hours per week averaged over the course of the roster cycle;
(ii) outside of the span of ordinary hours for each day specified in clause 27.2;
(iii) in excess of 11 hours on one day of the week and in excess of 9 hours on any other day of the week;
shall be paid at 175% of the ordinary hourly rate of pay for the first three hours and 225% of the ordinary hourly rate of pay thereafter (inclusive of the casual loading).
This final clause (iii)
in particular:
in excess of 11 hours on one day of the week and in excess of 9 hours on any other day of the week;
There seems to be several interpretations to this:
- Work 10 hours shifts for 7 days, you get paid 1 hour overtime for 6 of those days (as one did not hit 11 hours, you don't get overtime for that day).
- Work 10 hours shifts for 7 days, you get no overtime, because you did not meet both the 11 hour and 9 hour conditions
- Work a 12 hour shift on the monday, and 10 hour shifts for the rest of the week, you get 1 hour overtime for every day
- Work a 12 hour shift, then a 13 hour shift, then 10 hour shifts for the rest of the week... you get 1 hour for the 12 hour shift, 4 hours for the 13 hour shift, and one our for the rest (we count the first instance of being over 11 hours).
- Work a 12 hour shift, then a 13 hour shift, then 10 hour shifts for the rest of the week... you get 3 hour for the 12 hour shift, 2 hours for the 13 hour shift, and one hour for the rest (we count the shift with the most amount of hours as the "11 hour" shift).
