Common use of Rest periods and crib time Clause in Contracts

Rest periods and crib time. (1) An employee who has worked continuously (except for meal or crib times allowed by this award) for twenty hours shall not be required to continue at or recommence work for at least 12 hours. (2) There shall be allowed, without deduction of pay, a rest period of ten minutes between 9.00a.m. and 11.00a.m. (3) When an employee is required to work overtime after the usual ceasing time for the day or shift for two hours or more, he/she shall be allowed to take without deduction of pay, a crib time of 20 minutes in duration immediately after such ceasing time and thereafter, after each four hours of continuous work, he/she shall be allowed to take also, without deduction of pay, a crib time of 30 minutes in duration. In the event of an employee remaining at work after the usual ceasing time without taking the crib time of 20 minutes and continuing at work for a period of two hours or more, he/she shall be regarded as having worked 20 minutes more than the time worked and be paid accordingly. For the purpose of this subclause "usual ceasing time" is at the end of ordinary hours inclusive of any time worked for accrual purposes as prescribed in Clause 11(1) - Hours or Clause 16(4) - Shift Work. (4) Where shift work comprises three continuous and consecutive shifts of eight hours per day, a crib time of 20 minutes in duration shall be allowed without deduction of pay in each shift, such crib time being in lieu of any other rest period or cessation of work elsewhere prescribed by this award. (5) The provisions of subclauses (2), (3) and (4) of this clause shall not be applicable to the case of an employee who is allowed the rest periods prescribed in paragraphs (b) and (c) of subclause (1) of Clause 9. - Special Rates and Provisions.
