Casuals can be shiftworkers in the Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services Award.
When a casual works shiftwork, they get paid:
- their hourly rate
- the casual loading
- the relevant shift allowance.
The casual loading and the shift allowance are calculated on the base pay rate.
For more information on the interaction of penalties and loadings see How penalties and loadings interact.
