Scheduled RDOs on Designated Long Weekends It is recognised that there is merit in programming no work on the RDOs adjacent to public holiday weekends during the working year. This will allow Employees to have quality paid family leisure time.
Work on Scheduled RDOs Circumstances (a) Work may take place on a scheduled RDO by agreement between the Parties to this Agreement or on any substituted day where it is required by the Employer and such work is necessary to meet operational requirements, manage its business and/or improve productivity subject to the below procedure.

For the avoidance of doubt, unforeseen or emergency circumstances include, but are not limited to: excessive periods of Inclement Weather, matters not necessarily the fault of the Employer which has led to the Project being delayed or behind schedule, the requirement to meet the Employer’s work program and unexpected delays in the Project due to scheduling of other works or supply of materials, or work that cannot be performed on other days because of municipal council restrictions, or other relevant laws or regulations. Such requirement must be based on genuine circumstances. (c) Where the Employer requires work to be performed on a Scheduled RDO (or any substituted day) because of the existence of any of the above, it will: (i) consult with the affected Employees and the Union within a reasonable timeframe; (ii) determine that affected Employees agree to work on the Scheduled RDO; and (iii) the Employer will notify and agree with the Employees and their Union representative in writing (via email prior to the RDO when work needs to be performed. The attached notification form (Appendix I) may be used for this purpose. Affected Employees will be entitled to meet with their Union Representative for the purpose of consulting about works to occur on a scheduled RDO. The attached notification form (Appendix I) may be used for this purpose. (d) The Employer is committed to providing as much notice as is reasonably practicable of a requirement to work. Wherever possible, the process outlined above will occur at least nine (9) calendar days prior to the RDO in question. An Employee may refuse to work on a scheduled RDO (or any substituted day) if the requirement to do so is plainly unreasonable having regard to: (i) the hours of work that will be worked by that Employee in the week of the scheduled RDO; (ii) the number of scheduled RDOs worked by the Employee within the previous six weeks; (iii) the Employee’s family responsibilities; and (iv) any other special circumstances peculiar to the Employee. (e) An Employee required to work who has been consulted with in accordance with the Procedure, in addition to accrued entitlements, will be paid at the Employee’s Ordinary Rate prescribed in this Agreement for the Employees’ classification.

For the avoidance of doubt, where the Employer has consulted with the Union in accordance with subclause

The Recovery Schedule must be submitted within seven (7) calendar days of Owner’s request. The Recovery Schedule shall describe in detail Construction Contractor’s plan to complete the remaining Work by the required Contract milestone date.
