Common use of Overtime and Travel Clause in Contracts

Overtime and Travel. (a) Where an employee is directed to perform duty outside of their division by the District Officer or a delegated officer and that duty is on a rest day or is outside of their rostered hours for that day, the employee will be paid overtime for the duty so performed. (b) Work for which a direction from a District Officer or a delegated officer is not required will not attract an overtime payment, irrespective of whether or not the officer seeks such a direction. (c) Where an employee is rostered to perform duty at an event (e.g. local rodeo) outside of his/her division, the employee will be paid overtime for all hours worked in excess of ordinary hours. The employee shall be given at least 48 hours notice of the requirement. (d) In performing duty in accordance with clause 77 (2)(a)&(c) above, an employee is to be paid at ordinary rates for travel undertaken outside rostered hours in accordance with clause 82 of this Agreement. (e) Notwithstanding the above provisions, a District Officer may approve payment at overtime rates of any overtime performed within the employee’s division by an employee at a One or Two Officer Station, which does not relate to the employee’s normal duties. Such duties for example may include the following: ▪ where Road Policing Command provides additional funding to perform duties associated with road safety; ▪ where State Crime Command provides additional funding to perform duties associated with policing the prevalence of drugs in local communities; ▪ where an employee provides a response to a declared disaster.
