SPECIAL OVERTIME AND PENAL TIME PAYMENT PROVISIONS. Co-workers in the same occupations staffing the department out of normal hours by a combination of employees working rostered shifts and employees on-call working overtime, are entitled to different premium payments. To ensure fairness and equity in such circumstances: The higher of the overtime or penal time premiums applying during the called-back hours worked can be claimed by employees recalled to duty, and The inequity extends to differences in premium pay entitlements of full-time and part-time employees recalled to duty; local variations to this agreement may be agreed between the employer, the affected employees and the representative of the affected employees with the objective of achieving like pay for like work. Employees whose work patterns are governed by holiday or other closures of their places of work may, with prior employer approval, take equivalent hour-for-hour time-off-in-lieu of overtime. Such arrangements are to be mutually agreed on an individual basis between the employer and each affected employee. The arrangements are to be documented and include the maximum accumulation permitted for time-off-in-lieu of overtime and a period of not more than 6 months within which the time-off-in-lieu is to be taken. Where authorised time-off-in-lieu of overtime is claimed or taken by an employee, it is to be so recorded by the employee on their timesheet for the pay period in which the time-off-in-lieu is claimed or taken.
