Employees, other than maintenance or horticultural employees, get paid additional amounts when they do late and early work, Monday to Friday.
Different additional amounts apply from:
- 7pm to midnight
- midnight to 7am.
The additional amounts are paid for every hour or on a pro-rata basis for a part hour worked.
The additional amounts are paid in addition to:

- 125% of the ordinary hourly rate (inclusive of the casual loading) for casual employees.
Employees don't get paid these addtional amounts on public holidays.
To calculate the additional amounts, use our Pay and Conditions Tool.
