25.2 Employees shall not accrue RDO credits during periods that they are absent from work on either authorised (ie paid or unpaid) or unauthorised (unpaid) leave.

RDO SYSTEM. 51.4.1 Notwithstanding provisions elsewhere in the Agreement, and providing that any proposals are consistent with relevant regulations and the operational needs of the business, the employer and the majority of employees at an enterprise may agree to establish a system of RDO to provide that:
51.4.2 An employee may elect, with the consent of the employer, to take a rostered day off at any time.
51.4.3 An employee may elect, with the consent of the employer, to take rostered days off in part day amounts.

51.4.5 The employer shall inform the employee/s nominated representative if requested of its intention to introduce an enterprise system of RDO flexibility, and where requested by the employee/s provide a reasonable opportunity for the nominated employee representative’s participation in negotiations.
51.4.6 Once a decision has been taken to introduce an enterprise system of RDO flexibility, in accordance with this clause, its terms must be set out in the time and wages records kept pursuant to Part 3-6 of the Fair Work Regulations 2009.
RDO SYSTEM. (a) The rosters for the nominal crushing season and the nominal maintenance season will make provision for RDOs, as follows:
(i) the roster during the nominal crushing season will not provide for RDOs to be taken except with the consent of management;
(ii) subject to clause 5.6(d), the roster during the nominal maintenance season, will provide for employees to be allocated one paid RDO per fortnight (on average), to be paid on the basis of a 7.6 hour day, with no accrual to the RDO bank in respect of the paid RDOs;
(iii) employees will, in the ordinary course, commence the nominal crushing season with a zero RDO balance;
(iv) employees, whose employment terminates when they have an accrued but untaken balance in their RDO bank will be paid out of their RDO bank at ordinary time at the rate the employee is being paid at the time of the termination;
(v) employees are responsible for managing their RDO accruals;
(vi) where employees go into negative, or do not have the hours banked to have a full RDO, a discussion shall take place between the employee and their supervisor with the following options being available:
(A) use banked RDO time and then unpaid hours (which is the default option if no other agreement is reached);
(B) use banked RDO time, go into negative to a maximum of 10 hours and either work the hours or reconcile with the company at the end of the nominal maintenance season;
(C) work the day at single time with appropriate time banked to the RDO bank.
(b) Through the application of the facilitative procedure and any other consent arrangements groups of employees may be able to work a 38 hour week on a year round basis and utilise RDOs on a year round basis, or apply any other RDO arrangement which suits the circumstances of the group and which does not disadvantage them in their employment.
(c) Where an employee has taken paid RDOs in advance of accrual, Wilmar may deduct an amount equivalent to the employee's negative balance at ordinary time from any payment otherwise due to the employee, or allow the employee the opportunity to work ordinary hours to negate the negative balance. If there is a positive balance that exceeds the appropriate number of RDOs for the roster, any excess balance will be credited to the employees banked hours, or, at the employee's request be paid out, at ordinary time. Banked hours are to be taken as part of cascading leave. This above process will be concluded at the commencement of the nominal crushing season.
RDO SYSTEM. Options for rostered days off are a scheduled single (1) day, two (2) or five (5) day blocks or no RDO. Those employees who elect not to take rostered days off will work in accordance with the following arrangements:

27.3 It is clearly recognised by the Parties that this clause has no application to casual Employees.
