Explanatory note This note is not part of the order, but is intended to indicate its general effect.

This order, which comes into force on 6 September 2013, modifies and extends the operation of the Sleepover Wages (Settlement) Act 2011 (the Act) to give effect to a settlement of litigation between West Auckland Living Skills Homes Trust Board (the specified employer) and certain of its employees.
The litigation relates to the payment of wages to employees who were permitted to sleep overnight at their workplace while on duty (sleepover wages).

The Act implements a settlement of similar litigation between Idea Services Limited and Timata Hou Limited and their employees (the Idea settlement).

Subpart 1 of Part 2 of the Act extinguishes cer- tain claims for sleepover wages in the health and disability sector, and subpart 2 of Part 2 of the Act implements the terms of the Idea settlement.
5 Explanatory note Sleepover Wages (Settlement) (West Auckland Living Skills Homes Trust Board) Order 2013 2013/370 Subpart 1 of Part 2 of Act: extinguishing claims for sleepover wages Subpart 1 of Part 2 of the Act already applies to the specified em- ployer, because it applies to all employers in the health and disability sector funded through Vote Health.

It extinguishes claims relating to sleepovers performed before the Act commenced, if those claims were lodged after 5 pm on 2 September 2011.
Claims filed before that time are preserved.

Section 9 of the Act extinguishes claims by employees of Idea Services Limited and Timata Hou Limited for sleepover wages, including those that would otherwise have been preserved.

Clause 5 extends the effect of section 9 of the Act to employees of the specified employer and will have the effect of ex- tinguishing claims for sleepover wages that were lodged by its em- ployees before 5 pm on 2 September 2011.
Subpart 2 of Part 2 of Act: settlement relating to specified employer Clause 6 extends the effect of subpart 2 of Part 2 of the Act (which implements the Idea settlement) to the specified employer and its employees, but with certain modifications that are set out in clauses 7 to 10.

Clause 7 modifies section 19 of the Act, which sets out how back wages for sleepovers must be calculated.
The formula in section 19 involves multiplying the applicable minimum hourly rate by 9, which represents the number of hours of a sleepover performed by employ- ees of Idea Services Limited and Timata Hou Limited.

The formula in section 19 is amended so that the applicable minimum hourly rate will instead be multiplied by 8 to represent the number of hours of a sleepover performed by employees of the specified employer.

Clause 8 modifies section 20 of the Act, which sets out when back wages must be paid.
It provides that back wages due to employees of the specified employer must be paid no later than 2 months after the date of commencement of this order.

Sections 21 and 22 of the Act provide for a staged progression to- wards the minimum hourly wage payable under the Minimum Wage Act 1983.
Clause 9 modifies section 21 of the Act, which sets out an employee’s entitlements for sleepovers performed between 1 July 2011 and 17 October 2011 (being the date immediately before the commencement of the Act), and when those entitlements must be 6 2013/370 Sleepover Wages (Settlement) (West Auckland Living Skills Homes Trust Board) Order 2013 Explanatory note paid.
The amount due to employees of the specified employer for sleepovers performed during this time must be calculated in accord- ance with the formula in section 19 of the Act (as modified by clause 7).

The modification also provides that the amount due to employees of the specified employer for sleepovers performed during this time must be paid no later than 2 months after the date of commencement of this order.
Section 28(c) of the Act permits this modification only if the relevant Minister is satisfied that the proposed period has been agreed to by a simple majority of the employer’s employees.

The Minister has indicated that he is so satisfied.

Clause 10 modifies section 22(1) of the Act, which sets out how sleepover wages are to be calculated for sleepovers performed after the commencement of the Act by those employees to whom subpart 2 of Part 2 of the Act applies.
The section implements a staged pro- gression towards payment of the full minimum hourly wage payable under the Minimum Wage Act 1983.

Under clause 10, for sleepovers performed on or after 18 October 2011, an employee of the specified employer will be entitled to be paid either the rate that is specified in the Act for the relevant period of time or the amount the employee would have received immediately before the date of commencement of this order, whichever is greater.
