Scaled Penalties. 17.2.2.1. The annual adjustment in rates of pay provided in this clause will be suspended for the duration of this Agreement, resulting in the scaled penalty rate applicable for each role classification remaining unchanged from July 2017.
Scaled Penalties. 17.2.2.1. A scaled penalty will be paid to shift workers in job classifications, as provided for in Schedule 2 – Scaled Penalties of this Agreement, from the commencement of this agreement until these penalties are rolled-up and incorporated into new increased base rates of pay in accordance with this clause, after which time the entirety of clause 17.2.2 will become inoperative.
Scaled Penalties. Penalties are paid according to the time band in which the worked hours fall. A scaled penalty rate applies to shift workers in job classifications in the table at 16. This scaled penalty is calculated by averaging ordinary hours shifts worked Monday to Saturday. Shifts commencing or finishing outside ordinary hours attract a penalty of 35%. The scaled penalty does not include penalties for Sundays and Public Holidays (refer to Clause 16.4 for Sundays and Clause 15 for Public Holidays). Where an employee requests a change to working hours outside the normal roster for their classification and as a result there is a lower scaled penalty rate applicable, there will be no access to the provisions of No Financial Disadvantage in this instance. When new positions are created in the SOH or methods of rostering in any section have changed significantly since the last scaled penalty determination, then the appropriate scaled penalty rate shall be recalculated. If a new rate is determined it will apply from the start of the new roster. If a realistic scaled penalty figure cannot be determined prior to a position going into operation then a nominal penalty rate of no more than 7.5% will be paid for the first three roster terms (12 weeks). Following that time an appropriate scaled penalty can be determined using the actual hours worked during that period. If the actual scaled penalty rate determined after the three month period exceeds what has been applied in the interim then back pay will be paid. If it is less, then the new lower rate will be applied from the date of determination but reimbursement of any monies paid in the trial period will not be sought. Scaled penalties are payable on paid sick leave, but not payable on any other type of leave. Determining the rate of a new scaled penalty is achieved by: Totalling the number of ordinary hours that occur in the new roster from Monday to Saturday between 6:00am and midnight (TOTAL). Apply the 10%, 15% and 50% penalty structure from the Sydney Opera House (Staff) Award 2000 (as varied) to the hours in step 1 and determine the number of hours that would have fallen into each penalty band. Call them 10%P, 15%P & 50%P respectively. Use the following formula to calculate a percentage that when applied to all ordinary hours in step one will result in the same total penalty payment that would have been received under the old penalty structure: {(0.1*10%P) + (0.15*15%P) + (0.5*50%P)} *100 / TOTAL This percentage is then ...
