|
Jodie is a full-time Ambulance Officer—Year 2. Her ordinary rate of pay is $32.03 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 $32.03 = $416.39 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 $32.03 = $256.24 plus 5 hours leave paid at ordinary hourly rates |
