Payment or Banking of Ordinary Hours for School Officers.
8.6.1 Where an employer authorises additional hours to be worked by an employee (and the employee agrees to work those additional hours) beyond the employee’s normal starting and finishing times, but within ordinary hours of work, prescribed in clauses 8.5.1 and 8.5.2, these hours will be either:
(a) paid for at ordinary rates; or
(b) banked where this is agreed with the employer.
Payment or Banking of Ordinary Hours for School Officers. 8.5.1 Where an employer authorizes additional hours to be worked by an employee (and the employee agrees to work those additional hours) beyond the employee’s normal starting and finishing times, but within ordinary hours of work, prescribed in clauses 8.4.1 and 8.4.2, these hours will be either: a paid for at ordinary rates, or b banked where this is agreed with the employer. For example, the ordinary hours of work for school officers shall be worked between 7 am and 6 pm, Monday to Friday (see clause 8.4). Where a part time school officer is rostered to work from 10 am – 2 pm each day, and on one day agrees to work an extra hour between 9 am – 10 am, that hour shall be paid at the normal hourly rate – not at the overtime rate.
8.5.2 Where an employee banks hours in accordance with clause 8.5.1 (b), those banked hours must be availed of during school vacation periods except where the employing authority, at the request of the employee, approves that the accrued hours be taken at alternative times. The banked hours shall be paid at the ordinary time rate.
8.5.3 All employees shall have a zero balance of banked hours at the beginning of each twelve- month cycle. A twelve-month cycle is taken to begin on the first day following the school vacation period in January and extending through to the last day of the school vacation period in the next year. Any banked hours not taken prior to the completion of each twelve-month cycle will be paid at the employee’s ordinary time rate. In the example provided above at clause 8.5.1, if the school officer requested and the employer agreed for the extra hour worked outside the normal roster to be ‘banked’, the school officer would receive an extra hour of pay in the school holiday period of their choice within that same calendar year.
8.5.4 On resignation, employees must avail themselves of any banked hours prior to the resignation taking effect. In special or extenuating circumstances, if the employee is unable to avail themselves of banked hours, these banked hours shall be paid to the employee at the employee’s ordinary time rate no later than the date of the next full pay period after termination.
