Common use of Non-attendance Clause in Contracts

Non-attendance. 18.4.1 Employees who are not on approved leave and who do not attend for duty shall not be paid for the actual time of such non-attendance. 18.4.2 Any casual employee unable to attend a rostered shift shall make every reasonable effort to promptly notify the employer of their inability to attend. Employers will ensure that employees have 24/7 access to a method of communication to notify their inability to attend work, including access to SMS, email, or voice message facilities. Where an employee utilises such notification methods to leave a message for their employer regarding their inability to attend, this will be deemed an acceptable form of notification. It is expected that an employee would, in all but exceptional circumstances, be able to give no less than four (4) hours’ notice of their inability to attend a rostered shift. In the event an employee does not attend rostered shifts without reasonable excuse, and/or does not give reasonable notice of their inability to attend, they may not be offered future casual work.
