Common use of Review of Part-time Hours Clause in Contracts

Review of Part-time Hours. (a) At the request of an Employee, the hours worked by the Employee will be reviewed annually. (b) Where the Employee is regularly working more than their specified contracted hours then such contracted hours shall be adjusted by the Employer, to reflect the hours regularly worked, which may include moving to full-time employment. (c) The hours worked in the following circumstances will not be incorporated in the adjustment: (i) if the increase in hours is as a direct result of an Employee being absent on leave, such as for example, annual leave, long service leave, maternity leave, workers compensation; and (ii) if the increase in hours is due to a temporary increase in hours only due, for example, to the specific needs of a resident or client. (d) Any adjusted contracted hours resulting from a review, should, however, be such as to readily reflect roster cycles and shift configurations utilised at the workplace.
