WAGE AVERAGING Sample Clauses

WAGE AVERAGING. 4.4.1. Employees working a roster cycle may elect to be paid by a system of averaging payments for shift and overtime penalties. The Employer will determine the earnings received by an Employee over their roster cycle and calculate a loading equivalent to the amount exceeding the Employee’s earnings in respect of their base rate of pay for the total number of hours worked during the cycle. 4.4.2. The Employer will then calculate the average hours worked per fortnight over the roster cycle. 4.4.3. The Employee will be entitled to a payment each fortnight equivalent to the fortnightly average hours calculated under clause 4.4.2 with the loading calculated under clause 4.4.1 applied to each of those hours subject to the following exceptions. 4.4.4. Where one or more public holidays occur within a fortnight, the Employee will be paid as follows: (a) If the Employee’s rostered hours fell on the public holiday but it was not worked, no additional payment will be made because this is included in the wage averaging calculation (“PHO”); (b) If the public holiday was worked, then the Employee will be paid a loading equivalent to the difference between the loading calculated under clause 4.4.1 and the amount of 150% of their base rate of pay for all hours worked (“PHW”); or (c) If the public holiday was not rostered or worked, the Employee will be paid an additional 7.2 hours at the base rate of pay (“PHNR”).
