Sleepover Allowance. A sleepover allowance is payable when an employee is required to sleep overnight on Anglicare WA’s premises in order to be available to deal with any work related incident that requires attention. The span for a sleepover will be a maximum of 8 hours. Where a service requires a shorter sleepover span, the sleepover may be shortened to a minimum of 6 hours. Where a sleepover is shortened, the hour of work directly after the sleepover will be paid at the overtime rate for the number of hours the shift has been shortened e.g. for a 6 hour sleepover shift the first 2 hours worked after the sleep shift will be paid at overtime rates. An employee on sleepover will be rostered with at least 4 hours of active duty for each instance that the employee is required. The 4 hours may be rostered immediately before the sleepover or after the sleepover or may be comprised of some hours before and some hours after, so long as the employee has a minimum of 4 active hours for each sleepover shift. Sleepovers will be paid at half the rate of pay for each sleepover period. Where an employee has their sleep interrupted during a sleepover period as a result of a work related incident requiring attention, the employee will be paid for the time worked at the regular rate of pay that would otherwise apply to this period, including penalties, with a minimum payment of 1 hour. This pay is to be approved by the employee’s line manager. In the event that an employee on a sleepover has their sleep interrupted as a result of a work related incident requiring attention, the employee will report this occurrence to their line manager and submit details of the incident along with their timesheet. Employees will be provided with a separate room with a bed, use of staff facilities and free board and lodging for each night when the employee sleeps over.
