Priority will be given to completing the cover arrangements once the company has been advised of the absence as per Clause 24.2.1, these arrangements may include: • Utilising other operators who have the skill and competence to perform work necessary to affect coverage. • Allocation of a competent spare operator • 2 shifts cover by the relevant employee • Allocation of a competent trainee.(if available) • Allocation of a temporary or casual employee. The agreed method of cover will be communicated to all shifts that will be affected by the cover arrangements. Coverage in the five day period will be provided by the most reasonable use of any of the options stated. The company will provide coverage for a specific absence exceeding five days without the use of extra time beyond the fifth day. The parties recognise that the Company has the right to ask employees to work extra time over and above absenteeism cover and that employees have the right to refuse or accept any such request, no employee will be required to work more than two shifts of cover unless they agree to do so. The parties recognise that the company has the right to gainfully employ employees, where it is appropriate, so long as employees have the skill and competence to perform the work.

Absenteeism Cover. It is agreed that all short term absences which would impact on the operation of the Xxxxxxxx must be covered. Therefore the following clause takes precedence over Clause 19.4 – Absenteeism of the Agreement. It is recognised that given the relatively small workgroup at the Xxxxxxxx that the only effective way that absences can be covered is for operators to be responsible for providing cover for all short term absences. It is recognised that any extra time should be shared as equitably as possible but that the arranging of extra time will be the operators’ responsibility. Where an absence occurs on the day shift which requires coverage, an operator from the afternoon shift will be required to attend to cover the absence at the earliest possible time. Where an employee notifies an absence on afternoon shift which requires cover, a day shift employee may be sent home to return on afternoon shift, provided this does not impact on the day shift operations. Where this is not possible an operator will be required to work a double shift. Where an absence is to exceed 5 days alternative means of cover will be provided by the company.
