The parties recognise that Executive level 1 and 2 staff may negotiate with their supervisors for time off in lieu of the additional hours they may work. The method of recording will be agreed between the managers and staff. Overtime is payable for work performed by staff outside the span of hours, providing it is at the direction of the manager. Notwithstanding this provision, where staff work past 6pm on any day from Monday to Friday, overtime is payable after 6pm, provided that staff are directed to work. Where staff are rostered or directed to work prior to 7.30am, they will be paid at overtime rates until 8.30am.
Overtime is payable to printing staff on the completion of their rostered hours of duty.
Executive level 1-2 staff are not eligible for overtime payments. In calculating the overtime or time off in lieu entitlement, a divisor of 36 hours is to be used for all staff, except for printing staff where a 38 hour divisor is to be used. Staff are required to have a rest break of at least 8 hours plus reasonable travelling time between ceasing work on any day and commencing work on the next day. Where such a rest break is not possible because staff are required to attend duty, they will be paid double ordinary time rates until they have had such a break. The Clerk may direct staff to be contactable and to be available to perform overtime outside of their ordinary hours of duty.
