NINETEEN DAY MONTH. Ordinary hours may be set to be worked on any or all days of the week, Monday to Friday inclusive, in shifts of 8 hours duration with 0.4 hours per day accruing towards payment of one Rostered Day Off in each twenty day working cycle. The fixed hours for each working day will be set a minimum of one (1) week in advance and communicated to all employees. Any change in working hours will require one (1) week advanced notice or by agreement with employees. This is the current agreement and any variation would be by agreement between the parties.
NINETEEN DAY MONTH. It is recognised by the parties that due to operational commitments, some positions within Council are required to work extended hours each day. The 19 day month provisions only apply in these cases. The standard hours for a nineteen-day month is 8.4 hours per day or 42 hours per week. For working these extended hours the employee is entitled to both one day off per month and the 14% loading of the ten day fortnight. This daily hours worked under the 19 day month will generally be worked from 8 am to 5.03 pm daily; this arrangement of 19 days at 23 minutes (ordinary time) extra per day, amounts to an accrual of 7 hours 28 minutes per month. Therefore enabling enough time to be accumulated for the one day off a month. The employee must work 19 full days (excluding sick leave, annual leave, etc) before they are entitled to take a day off. The day off is to be taken at a time mutually agreed between the Supervisor and the employee. No new 19 day month arrangements will be entered into from the date of signing of this Agreement. If the position becomes vacant for any reason it will revert to a nine day fortnight working arrangement or except where the position meets the requirements to be classified as a 10 day fortnight position in accordance with these arrangements. All other conditions of employment, such as leave accruals, remain unchanged under this arrangement.
