Jodie is a full-time Ambulance Officer—Year 2. Her ordinary rate of pay is $30.87 per hour. She works 3 hours overtime on Wednesday in addition to her 8 ordinary rostered hours.

 

 

Jodie’s entitlement

= (8 hours at normal rate) + (3 hours overtime)

 

= (8 hours) + (2 hours x 150%) + (1 hour x 200%)

 

= 8 + (3 + 2) hours

 

= 13 hours

Taken as PAY

= 13 x $30.87 = $401.31 for Wednesday

 

 

Jodie’s employer must give her 13 hours pay OR if Jodie and her employer agree, Jodie may take the “5 hours overtime pay” as 5 hours off instead:

 

 

Taken as TIME OFF

= 8 hours paid at ordinary hourly rate plus 5 hours leave paid at ordinary hourly rates

 

 

 

= 8 x $30.87 = $246.96 plus 5 hours leave paid at ordinary hourly rates
