The average of penalties paid in the two pays periods prior to the employee actually taking an Accrued day off are calculated and the employee is paid the ordinary time rate plus the average penalty amount. (ii) This method applied at Fremantle Hospital, Royal Perth Hospital, Xxxxxxx Park Hospital and Princess Xxxxxxxx Hospital. (b) Paid as Earned Method (i) Penalties paid on actual hours worked.
