ANNUAL SHUT DOWN. Where the employer has an annual shut-down period (for example, around the Christmas and New Year period), the employee may be directed to take accrued annual leave during the period of the close down. The employer will provide the employee with 14 days’ notice regarding the annual shut-down dates.
ANNUAL SHUT DOWN. 61.1 The first working day following the gazetted Christmas/Boxing Day public holidays, except where an officer is on leave without pay, long service leave or paid maternity leave, shall be observed as a holiday by CSIRO officers. Officers observing the holiday shall be paid in accordance with their ordinary hours of work and there will be no deduction from leave credits for this day. Officers who work on this day and who meet the eligibility criteria at clause 23.3 shall be paid at double time for the hours worked, in addition to payment for the holiday.
61.2 Except where specified at clause 61.1, any site where CSIRO determines that it shall observe a shut down which includes the period between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, officers may be directed to take leave, paid or unpaid depending on the officer’s accrued leave balance, for that period. Officers so directed are to use accrued recreation, flex, or miscellaneous leave subject to clause 62.6 of this Agreement. Officers who fail to apply for leave for the period, will not be paid salary for the period, instead the officer will be provided with paid miscellaneous leave, subject to available credits, during the period. Where an officer has exhausted their miscellaneous leave and recreation leave credits and they are unlikely to clear any excess flex debit as required by clause 61.3, the officer will take unpaid leave.
61.3 Officers with insufficient leave credits at the time of shut down may exceed the normal 10 hour maximum flex debit, provided that the excess debit is cleared within three months of the shut down.
61.4 Decisions on implementing shut down will be communicated no less than three months before the shut down period. Where officers are likely to have genuine work demands during the shut down period, CSIRO shall organise appropriate alternative working arrangements in the event it wishes to proceed with the shut down.
61.5 In order to meet essential operating requirements at a site, CSIRO may direct an officer to attend work during the annual shut down. An officer who is directed to work shall be permitted to access an equivalent period of miscellaneous leave during the following two months in recognition of the requirement to work during the shut down period.
ANNUAL SHUT DOWN.
