Common use of Additional Week’s Annual Leave Clause in Contracts

Additional Week’s Annual Leave. (a) An Employee who is a weekend worker who works for more than four ordinary hours on 10 or more weekends is entitled to an additional week’s annual leave on the same terms and conditions. (b) Where an Employee who is weekend worker does not meet the 10 weekend threshold in clause 53.4(a), they will accrue additional annual leave at the rate of one tenth of a week for each weekend worked, up to a maximum of one week in a year. (c) The provisions of this clause have the same effect and give an Employee an entitlement to annual leave that is the same as the entitlement of the Employee under the NES relating to shiftworkers under section 87(1)(b)(ii) of the Act. (d) An Employee’s entitlement to annual leave under this clause operates in parallel with the Employee’s NES entitlement, but not so as to give the Employee a double benefit. (e) A weekend worker whose employment is terminated at the end of a period of employment which is less than one year computed from the date of commencement of the employment, or the date upon which the Employee last became entitled to annual leave from the Employer, will be paid in addition to any other amounts due to the Employee, an amount equal to 1/48th of his or her ordinary pay in respect of that period of employment.
