15A.1 Clause 15A provides for the exercise of an employee’s right to disconnect under section 333M of the Act.

NOTE:

(a) Section 333M provides that, unless it is unreasonable to do so, an employee may refuse to monitor, read or respond to contact, or attempted contact, from:

(1) their employer outside of the employee’s working hours,

(2) a third party if the contact or attempted contact relates to, their work and is outside of the employee's working hours.

(b) Section 333M(3) lists matters that must be taken into account in determining whether an employee’s refusal is unreasonable.

(c) Section 333M(5) provides that an employee’s refusal will be unreasonable if the contact or attempted contact is required under a law of the Commonwealth, a State or a Territory.

(d) Section 333N provides for the resolution of disputes about whether an employee’s refusal is unreasonable and about the operation of section 333M.

(e) The general protections in Part 3–1 of the Act prohibit an employer taking adverse action against an employee because of the employee’s right to disconnect under section 333M of the Act.

15A.2 Clause 15A applies from the following dates:

(a)          26 August 2024—for employers that are not small business employers on this date and their employees.

(b)         26 August 2025—for employers that are small business employers on 26 August 2024 and their employees.

15A.3 An employer must not directly or indirectly prevent an employee from exercising their right to disconnect under the Act.

15A.5 Clause 15A.3 does not prevent an employer from contacting, or attempting to contact, an employee outside of the employee’s working hours in circumstances including to notify them of:

(a)          an emergency roster change under clause 16.3; or

(b)         a recall to work under clause 23—Recall to duty—club managers.

16.                 Rostering arrangements—full-time and part-time employees

16.2               The roster may be changed, subject to clause 33Consultation about changes to rosters or hours of work:

(a)          by mutual consent at any time; or

(b)         on 7 days’ notice.

16.3               Where practicable 2 weeks’ notice of rostered day or days off will be given provided that the days off may be changed by mutual consent or through absence, due to sickness or other cause over which the employer has no control.

17.                 Meal breaks

17.1               Subject to the provisions of clause 17:

(a)          If an employee, including a casual employee, is required to work more than 5 hours in a day the employee must be given an unpaid meal break of at least 30 minutes. The break must be given between 1.5 and 5 hours of the employee starting work.

(b)         An employee rostered for a 5 hour shift may elect to take an unpaid 30 minute meal break during the shift and the employer shall not unreasonably refuse.

17.2               If an employee is not given a meal break in accordance with clause 17.1 the employer must pay the employee 150% of the ordinary hourly rate from the end of 5 hours until either the meal break is given or the shift ends.

17.3               If an employee is required to work more than 5 hours after the employee is given the unpaid meal break in clause 17.1, the employee must be given an additional 20 minute paid break.

17.4               Where the club employs fewer than 10 people covered by this award, then the break prescribed by clause 17.2 can be substituted by a paid 20 minute crib break, which can be taken, as trade permits, at any time within that day’s shift, and the penalty rate prescribed by clause 17.2 will not apply.

(b)         an employee is the only employee rostered for duty on a particular day or shift;

the employee will be given a paid break of at least 20 minutes. This paid break may be given instead of the unpaid meal break provided in clause 17.1.

(a)          A maintenance and horticultural employee is entitled to 2 tea breaks of 10 minutes’ duration each, to be counted as time worked, in the morning and afternoon at a time to be arranged by the employer. Alternatively, the employer and employee may agree to combine the breaks into one break of 20 minutes’ duration.

(b)         A maintenance and horticultural employee working overtime will be allowed a crib break of 20 minutes’ duration without loss of pay after each 4 hours of overtime worked if the employee continues work after such a break.

(c)          Where a maintenance and horticultural employee is to work a period of overtime of more than 1.5 hours, the employee will be allowed a meal break of 20 minutes’ duration after ordinary hours before starting overtime. The meal break will be paid for at the ordinary hourly rate.

20.                 Payment of wages

NOTE: Regulations 3.33(3) and 3.46(1)(g) of Fair Work Regulations 2009 set out the requirements for pay records and the content of payslips including the requirement to separately identify any allowance paid.

20.1               Except upon the termination of employment all wages including overtime will be paid on any day other than Friday, Saturday or Sunday in each week. However, by agreement between the employer and the majority of employees in the workplace, in a week where a holiday occurs payment of wages may be made on a Friday.

20.2               By agreement between the employer and the employee wages may be paid either weekly or fortnightly by one of the following means:

(a)          cash;

(b)         cheque; or

(c)          payment into employee’s bank account by electronic funds transfer, without cost to the employee.

20.3               An employer may pay an employee weekly by cash without consultation.

20.4               Where an employee is paid by cash or cheque, and the employee is paid their wages at any time other than during their working time, if the employee is kept waiting more than 15 minutes, the employee will be paid overtime rates for all time spent waiting for payment at the workplace.

20.5               Employees whose rostered day off falls on pay day will be paid their wages, if they so desire, before going off duty on the working day prior to their day off. However, this provision will not apply to employees paid by electronic funds transfer.

20.6               Payment on termination of employment

(a)          Subject to clause 20.6(b), the employer must pay an employee no later than 7 days after the day on which the employee’s employment terminates:

(i)            the employee’s wages under this award for any complete or incomplete pay period up to the end of the day of termination; and

(ii)          all other amounts that are due to the employee under this award and the NES.

(b)         Where a casual employee is paid at the end of each engagement pursuant to clause 11.3 of this award, and that employee’s employment is terminated, the employer must pay the employee their wages due under the award at the end of their last engagement.

(c)          The requirement to pay wages and other amounts under clause 20.6(a) is subject to further order of the Commission and the employer making deductions authorised by this award or the Act.

NOTE 1: Section 117(2) of the Act provides that an employer must not terminate an employee’s employment unless the employer has given the employee the required minimum period of notice or “has paid” to the employee payment instead of giving notice.

NOTE 2: Clause 20.6(c) allows the Commission to make an order delaying the requirement to make a payment under clause 20.6. For example, the Commission could make an order delaying the requirement to pay redundancy pay if an employer makes an application under section 120 of the Act for the Commission to reduce the amount of redundancy pay an employee is entitled to under the NES.

NOTE 3: State and Territory long service leave laws or long service leave entitlements under section 113 of the Act, may require an employer to pay an employee for accrued long service leave on the day on which the employee’s employment terminates or shortly after.

21.                 Superannuation

[Varied by PR771334]

21.1               Superannuation legislation

[21.1 substituted by PR771334 09Apr24]

(a)          The NES and Superannuation legislation, including the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992 (Cth), the Superannuation Guarantee Charge Act 1992 (Cth), the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (Cth) and the Superannuation (Resolution of Complaints) Act 1993 (Cth), deal with the superannuation rights and obligations of employers and employees.

(b)         The rights and obligations in clause 21 supplement those in superannuation legislation and the NES.

NOTE: Under superannuation legislation:

(a) Individual employees generally have the opportunity to choose their own superannuation fund.

(b) If a new employee does not choose a superannuation fund, the employer must ask the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) whether the employee is an existing member of a stapled superannuation fund and, if stapled fund details are provided by the ATO, make contributions to the stapled fund.

(c) If an employee does not choose a superannuation fund and does not have a stapled fund, the choice of superannuation fund requirements will be satisfied by contributions made to a superannuation fund nominated in the award covering the employee, provided the fund is able to accept contributions for the benefit of the employee.

(d) A fund may not be able to accept contributions for the benefit of an employee if the employee would be a new member of the fund’s MySuper product and the MySuper product is closed to new members because it has failed the performance tests of Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) for 2 consecutive years.

21.2               Employer contributions

An employer must make such superannuation contributions to a superannuation fund for the benefit of an employee as will avoid the employer being required to pay the superannuation guarantee charge under superannuation legislation with respect to that employee.

21.3               Voluntary employee contributions

(a)          Subject to the governing rules of the relevant superannuation fund, an employee may, in writing, authorise their employer to pay on behalf of the employee a specified amount from the post-taxation wages of the employee into the same superannuation fund as the employer makes the superannuation contributions provided for in clause 21.2.

(b)         An employee may adjust the amount the employee has authorised their employer to pay from the wages of the employee from the first of the month following the giving of three months’ written notice to their employer.

(c)          The employer must pay the amount authorised under clauses 21.3(a) or 21.3(b) no later than 28 days after the end of the month in which the deduction authorised under clauses 21.3(a) or 21.3(b) was made.

21.4               Superannuation fund

[21.4 varied by PR771334 09Apr24]

Unless, to comply with superannuation legislation, the employer is required to make the superannuation contributions provided for in clause 21.2 to another superannuation fund, the employer must make the superannuation contributions provided for in clause 21.2 and pay any amount authorised under clauses 21.3(a) or 21.3(b) to one of the following superannuation funds or its successor, provided that, in respect of new employees, the fund is able to accept new beneficiaries:

(a)          Club Plus Superannuation Pty Limited;

(b)         Club Super;

(c)          HOSTPLUS;

(d)         Sunsuper;

(e)          Tasplan;

(f)           AustralianSuper;

(g)          any superannuation fund to which the employer was making superannuation contributions for the benefit of its employees before 12 September 2008, provided the superannuation fund is an eligible choice fund and is a fund that offers a MySuper product or is an exempt public sector superannuation scheme; or

(h)         a superannuation fund or scheme which the employee is a defined benefit member of.

21.5               Absence from work

Subject to the governing rules of the relevant superannuation fund, the employer must also make the superannuation contributions provided for in clause 21.2 and pay the amount authorised under clauses 21.3(a) or 21.3(b):

(a)          Paid leave—while the employee is on any paid leave;

(b)         Work-related injury or illness—for the period of absence from work of the employee due to work-related injury or work-related illness provided that:

(i)            the employee is receiving workers compensation payments or is receiving regular payments directly from the employer in accordance with the statutory requirements; and

(ii)          the employee remains employed by the employer.

Part 5—Overtime and Penalty Rates

22.                 Overtime

[Varied by PR747369, PR763255]

22.1               An employer may require an employee to work reasonable overtime at overtime rates.

22.2               All time worked by a full-time employee in excess of the hours or outside the spread of hours or outside the rostered hours prescribed in this award will be overtime and will be paid for at the overtime rates specified in clause 22.3:

NOTE: Clause 10.13(b) specifies when an employer must pay overtime rates to part-time employees and clause 11.4 specifies when an employer must pay overtime rates to casual employees.

22.3               The following overtime rates are payable to an employee, depending on the time at which the overtime is worked:

(a)          Monday to Friday: 150% of the ordinary hourly rate of pay for the first 2 hours and 200% after 2 hours;

(b)         between midnight Friday and midnight Saturday: 175% of the ordinary hourly rate of pay for the first 2 hours and 200% after 2 hours;

(c)          between midnight Saturday and midnight Sunday: 200% of the ordinary hourly rate of pay for all time worked;

[22.3(d) varied by PR747369 ppc14Nov22]

(d)         public holiday: 250% of the ordinary hourly rate of pay for all time worked, with a minimum payment of 4 hours. Hours of work performed immediately before or after a part-day public holiday, that form part of one continuous shift, are counted as part of the minimum payment/engagement period;

(e)          rostered day off: 200% of the ordinary hourly rate of pay for all time worked, with a minimum payment of 4 hours.

22.4               In computing overtime payments, overtime worked on any day stands alone from overtime worked on any other day.

22.5               If an employee is so long on overtime duty that the employee has not had 10 hours’ rest before the employee’s next regular starting time, the employee will be allowed at least 10 hours’ rest without deduction of pay or will be paid at overtime rates for all time of duty until the employee has had at least 8 hours’ rest.

22.6               An apprentice under the age of 18 years will not, without the employee’s consent, be required to work overtime, shiftwork or late work.

22.7               An employer must supply an employee with a meal, or pay an employee the allowance prescribed in clause 19.3(a)(i), if the employee is required to work overtime for more than 2 hours without being notified of that requirement on or before the previous day.

22.8               Time off instead of payment for overtime

(a)          An employee and employer may agree in writing to the employee taking time off instead of being paid for a particular amount of overtime that has been worked by the employee.

(b)         The period of time off that an employee is entitled to take is equivalent to the overtime payment that would have been made.

EXAMPLE: By making an agreement under clause 22.8 an employee who worked 2 overtime hours at the rate of 150% is entitled to 3 hours’ time off.

(c)          Time off must be taken:

(i)            within the period of 6 months after the overtime is worked; and

(ii)          at a time or times within that period of 6 months agreed by the employee and employer.

(d)         If the employee requests at any time, to be paid for overtime covered by an agreement under clause 22.8 but not taken as time off, the employer must pay the employee for the overtime, in the next pay period following the request, at the overtime rate applicable to the overtime when worked.

(e)          If time off for overtime that has been worked is not taken within the period of 6 months mentioned in clause 22.8(c), the employer must pay the employee for the overtime, in the next pay period following those 6 months, at the overtime rate applicable to the overtime when worked.

(f)           An employer must not exert undue influence or undue pressure on an employee in relation to a decision by the employee to make, or not make, an agreement to take time off instead of payment for overtime.

(g)          An employee may, under section 65 of the Act, request to take time off, at a time or times specified in the request or to be subsequently agreed by the employer and the employee, instead of being paid for overtime worked by the employee. If the employer agrees to the request then clause 22.8 will apply for overtime that has been worked.

[Note varied by PR763255 ppc 01Aug23]

NOTE: If an employee makes a request under section 65 of the Act for a change in working arrangements, the employer may only refuse that request on reasonable business grounds (see section 65A(3) of the Act).

(h)         If, on the termination of the employee’s employment, time off for overtime worked by the employee to which clause 22.8 applies has not been taken, the employer must pay the employee for the overtime at the overtime rate applicable to the overtime when worked.

NOTE: Under section 345(1) of the Act, a person must not knowingly or recklessly make a false or misleading representation about the workplace rights of another person under clause 22.8.

23.                 Recall to duty—club managers

23.1               An employee recalled to work any overtime in one or more periods after having left the club premises will be paid for a minimum of one hour’s work at overtime rates when the overtime is worked after the end of the ordinary hours of one shift and before the start of ordinary hours of the next shift. Clause 23.1 applies whether the employee was notified before or after having left the premises.

23.2               Under clause 23.1:

(a)          Overtime is not required to be paid when the recall to work is because of the failure of the employee to perform a duty or function during the employee’s ordinary working hours.

(b)         The employee will not be paid for the time spent travelling to and from the club on a recall.

Part 6—Leave and Public Holidays

25.                 Annual leave

[Varied by PR751073]

25.1               Leave entitlement

(a)          Annual leave is provided for in the NES. It does not apply to casual employees.

(b)         For the purpose of the additional week of leave provided by the NES, a shiftworker means a 7 day shiftworker who is regularly rostered to work on Sundays and public holidays, and includes a club manager.

25.2               The NES prescribes the basis for payment for annual leave, including payment for untaken leave upon the termination of employment.

25.3               In addition to the payment provided for in the NES, an employer is required to pay an additional leave loading of 17.5% of that payment.

25.4               Direction to take annual leave during shutdown

[25.4 renamed and substituted by PR751073 ppc 01May23]

(a)          Clause 25.4 applies if an employer:

(i)            intends to shut down all or part of its operation for a particular period (temporary shutdown period); and

(ii)          wishes to require affected employees to take paid annual leave during that period.

(b)         The employer must give the affected employees 28 days’ written notice of a temporary shutdown period, or any shorter period agreed between the employer and the majority of relevant employees.

(c)          The employer must give written notice of a temporary shutdown period to any employee who is engaged after the notice is given under clause 25.4(b) and who will be affected by that period, as soon as reasonably practicable after the employee is engaged.

(d)         The employer may direct the employee to take a period of paid annual leave to which the employee has accrued an entitlement during a temporary shutdown period.

(e)          A direction by the employer under clause 25.4(d):

(i)            must be in writing; and

(ii)          must be reasonable.

(f)           The employee must take paid annual leave in accordance with a direction under clause 25.4(d).

(g)          In respect of any part of a temporary shutdown period which is not the subject of a direction under clause 25.4(d), an employer and an employee may agree, in writing, for the employee to take leave without pay during that part of the temporary shutdown period.

(h)         An employee may take annual leave in advance during a temporary shutdown period in accordance with an agreement under clause 25.8.

(i)            In determining the amount of paid annual leave to which an employee has accrued an entitlement, any period of paid annual leave taken in advance by the employee, in accordance with an agreement under clause 25.8, to which an entitlement has not been accrued, is to be taken into account.

(j)           Clauses 25.5 to 25.7 do not apply to a period of annual leave that an employee is required to take during a temporary shutdown period in accordance with clause 25.4.

25.5               Excessive leave accruals: general provision

NOTE: Clauses 25.5 to 25.7 contain provisions, additional to the NES, about the taking of paid annual leave as a way of dealing with the accrual of excessive paid annual leave. See Part 2.2, Division 6 of the Act.

(a)          An employee has an excessive leave accrual if the employee has accrued more than 8 weeks’ paid annual leave (or 10 weeks’ paid annual leave for a shiftworker, as defined by clause 25.1).

(b)         If an employee has an excessive leave accrual, the employer or the employee may seek to confer with the other and genuinely try to reach agreement on how to reduce or eliminate the excessive leave accrual.

(c)          Clause 25.6 sets out how an employer may direct an employee who has an excessive leave accrual to take paid annual leave.

(d)         Clause 25.7 sets out how an employee who has an excessive leave accrual may require an employer to grant paid annual leave requested by the employee.

25.6               Excessive leave accruals: direction by employer that leave be taken

(a)          If an employer has genuinely tried to reach agreement with an employee under clause 25.5(b) but agreement is not reached (including because the employee refuses to confer), the employer may direct the employee in writing to take one or more periods of paid annual leave.

(b)         However, a direction by the employer under clause 25.6(a):

(i)            is of no effect if it would result at any time in the employee’s remaining accrued entitlement to paid annual leave being less than 6 weeks when any other paid annual leave arrangements (whether made under clause 25.5, 25.6 or 25.7 or otherwise agreed by the employer and employee) are taken into account; and

(ii)          must not require the employee to take any period of paid annual leave of less than one week; and

(iii)        must not require the employee to take a period of paid annual leave beginning less than 8 weeks, or more than 12 months, after the direction is given; and

(iv)        must not be inconsistent with any leave arrangement agreed by the employer and employee.

(c)          The employee must take paid annual leave in accordance with a direction under clause 25.6(a) that is in effect.

(d)         An employee to whom a direction has been given under clause 25.6(a) may request to take a period of paid annual leave as if the direction had not been given.

NOTE 1: Paid annual leave arising from a request mentioned in clause 25.6(d) may result in the direction ceasing to have effect. See clause 25.6(b)(i).

NOTE 2: Under section 88(2) of the Act, the employer must not unreasonably refuse to agree to a request by the employee to take paid annual leave.

25.7               Excessive leave accruals: request by employee for leave

(a)          If an employee has genuinely tried to reach agreement with an employer under clause 25.5(b) but agreement is not reached (including because the employer refuses to confer), the employee may give a written notice to the employer requesting to take one or more periods of paid annual leave.

(b)         However, an employee may only give a notice to the employer under clause 25.7(a) if:

(i)            the employee has had an excessive leave accrual for more than 6 months at the time of giving the notice; and

A.13           Qualifications Framework

A.13.1       The qualifications framework

The Qualifications Framework forms one of the components of the overall Hospitality Training Package for club employees and managers.

In simple terms, the Qualifications Framework:

·  identifies the full range of national qualifications that are available in the hospitality industry;

·  shows the titles for each of the qualifications; and

·  sets down the skill requirements for each of the qualifications.

A.13.2       The hospitality training package

(a)          Competency standards

Competency standards define the skills and knowledge that people need to perform their jobs and the standard of performance that is required.

Competency standards can be used for:

·  compiling job descriptions;

·  organising work structures;

·  recruitment determining training;

·  developing training programs needs;

·  appraisals and/or skills assessment.

(b)          Assessment guidelines

Assessment guidelines describe the hospitality industry assessment system including the qualifications required by assessors and other quality assurance mechanisms.

The focus of assessment is on whether a person has the skills, not on how they acquired them. People undertaking training may be assessed on or off the job. In the workplace, people who already have the skills may also be assessed.

(c)           Qualifications framework

When individuals have been assessed, whether in the workplace or as part of their training; they are able to receive formal recognition of their skills.

The Qualifications Framework defines all the different hospitality qualifications. There are 6 levels of qualification:

1. Certificate I; suitable for club operational level staff.

2. Certificate II; suitable for club operational level staff.

3. Certificate III; suitable for club operational level staff.

4. Certificate IV; suitable for club managers Level A.

5. Diploma; suitable for club managers Level B.

6. Advanced Diploma; suitable for club managers Level C–E.

(d)          How does it relate to the club management training system?

The Registered and Licensed Clubs Award 2020 training requirements and the management traineeship are linked directly to the Australian Qualifications Framework.

(g)          What training units should you do?

The Registered and Licensed Clubs Award 2020 sets out 7 levels of management from A to G that are classified according to duties and responsibilities. Each level has training requirements to assist the development of the required skills and knowledge to carry out the particular management role. This provides a clear career path to follow.

By comparing your existing skills and knowledge to each level you can determine which unit you need to complete to address any ‘skills’ gap and to move up the career ladder.

B.1.2            The rates in the tables below are based on the minimum hourly rates in accordance with clause 18.3. Consistent with clause B.1.1, all-purpose allowances need to be added to the rates in the table where they are applicable.

Schedule DSchool-based Apprentices

D.1                  This schedule applies to school-based apprentices. A school-based apprentice is a person who is undertaking an apprenticeship in accordance with this schedule while also undertaking a course of secondary education.

D.2                  A school-based apprenticeship may be undertaken in the trades covered by this award under a training agreement or contract of training for an apprentice declared or recognised by the relevant State or Territory authority.

D.3                  The relevant minimum wages for full-time junior and adult apprentices provided for in this award, calculated hourly, will apply to school-based apprentices for total hours worked including time deemed to be spent in off-the-job training.

D.4                  For the purposes of clause D.3, where an apprentice is a full-time school student, the time spent in off-the-job training for which the apprentice must be paid is 25% of the actual hours worked each week on-the-job. The wages paid for training time may be averaged over the semester or year.

D.5                  A school-based apprentice must be allowed, over the duration of the apprenticeship, the same amount of time to attend off-the-job training as an equivalent full-time apprentice.

D.6                  For the purposes of this schedule, off-the-job training is structured training delivered by a Registered Training Organisation separate from normal work duties or general supervised practice undertaken on the job.

D.7                  The duration of the apprenticeship must be as specified in the training agreement or contract for each apprentice but must not exceed 6 years.

D.8                  School-based apprentices progress through the relevant wage scale at the rate of 12 months progression for each 2 years of employment as an apprentice or at the rate of competency based progression if provided for in this award.

D.9                  The apprentice wage scales are based on a standard full-time apprenticeship of 4 years (unless the apprenticeship is of 3 years’ duration) or stages of competency based progression (if provided for in this award). The rate of progression reflects the average rate of skill acquisition expected from the typical combination of work and training for a school-based apprentice undertaking the applicable apprenticeship.

D.10             If an apprentice converts from school-based to full-time, the successful completion of competencies (if provided for in this award) and all time spent as a full-time apprentice will count for the purposes of progression through the relevant wage scale in addition to the progression achieved as a school-based apprentice.

D.11             School-based apprentices are entitled pro rata to all of the other conditions in this award.

E.5                 Assessment of capacity

E.5.1            For the purpose of establishing the percentage of the relevant minimum wage, the productive capacity of the employee will be assessed in accordance with the SWS by an approved assessor, having consulted the employer and employee and, if the employee so desires, a union which the employee is eligible to join.

E.6.1            All SWS wage assessment agreements under the conditions of this schedule, including the appropriate percentage of the relevant minimum wage to be paid to the employee, must be lodged by the employer with the Fair Work Commission.

E.6.2            All SWS wage assessment agreements must be agreed and signed by the employee and employer parties to the assessment. Where a union which has an interest in the award is not a party to the assessment, the assessment will be referred by the Fair Work Commission to the union by certified mail and the agreement will take effect unless an objection is notified to the Fair Work Commission within 10 working days.

E.7                 Review of assessment

The assessment of the applicable percentage should be subject to annual or more frequent review on the basis of a reasonable request for such a review. The process of review must be in accordance with the procedures for assessing capacity under the SWS.

Where an assessment has been made, the applicable percentage will apply to the relevant minimum wage only. Employees covered by the provisions of this schedule will be entitled to the same terms and conditions of employment as other workers covered by this award on a pro rata basis.

E.9                 Workplace adjustment

An employer wishing to employ a person under the provisions of this schedule must take reasonable steps to make changes in the workplace to enhance the employee’s capacity to do the job. Changes may involve re-design of job duties, working time arrangements and work organisation in consultation with other workers in the area.

E.10.2        During that trial period the assessment of capacity will be undertaken and the percentage of the relevant minimum wage for a continuing employment relationship will be determined.

[E.10.3 varied by PR729672, PR742256, PR762969, PR774051 ppc 01Jul24]

E.10.3        The minimum amount payable to the employee during the trial period must be no less than $106 per week.
