Flexible Work Shifts. 15.5.1 All ordinary time work performed between the spread of hours detailed at 8.4 will be known as “rostered shifts”. However, to accommodate shipping schedules and tidal conditions, employees may be required to work ordinary hours outside of that spread of hours.
15.5.2 Where the majority of ordinary time hours for a particular shift fall outside the spread of hours, these shifts will be known as “Flexi-shifts”.
15.5.3 Where the starting time is at or after 1300 and before 0200 then these shifts are Flexi-shifts and payment will be as detailed herein.
15.5.4 Wherever practicable employees will be given 48 hours notice of the requirement to work a Flexi-shift.

15.5.10 If, on the instruction of Xxxxxxx, an employee resumes or continues work without having had 10 consecutive hours rest, that employee will be paid at 200% of the ordinary time rate until the employee is released from duty for such period. That employee will then be entitled to 10 hours rest without loss of pay for ordinary time through not attending for duty on a rostered shift for the duration of that rest period.
15.5.11 Employees working a Flexi-shift will be entitled to a 20-minute paid crib break for every 5 hours of duty.
15.5.12 The crib breaks will be managed by the leading hands to ensure that maximum flexibility is achieved. This may entail staggered breaks to allow operators to receive rest and refreshment and yet maintain a continuous operational environment and ensure tidal and operational deadline...
