(SR 2012/369)
Settlement relating to Totara Farm Trust
5 Extension of subpart 2 of Part 2 to Totara Farm Trust
This order is the Sleepover Wages (Settlement) (Totara Farm Trust) Order 2012.
Totara Farm Trust (as employer); and
each employee of Totara Farm Trust who performs or performed a sleepover.
This clause applies instead of section 21 of the Act in relation to the entitlements of employees of Totara Farm Trust for sleepovers performed immediately before 18 October 2011.
In relation to a sleepover performed by an employee during the period beginning on 1 July 2011 and ending with the close of 17 October 2011, Totara Farm Trust must pay the employee the greater of—
Totara Farm Trust must pay any amount payable to an employee under subclause (2) no later than 2 months after the date of commencement of this order.
This clause applies instead of section 22(1) of the Act in relation to the entitlements of employees of Totara Farm Trust for sleepovers performed on and after 18 October 2011.
In relation to a sleepover performed by an employee on or after 18 October 2011, Totara Farm Trust must pay the employee the greater of—
This order, which comes into force on 14 December 2012, modifies and extends the operation of the Sleepover Wages (Settlement) Act 2011 (the Act) to give effect to a settlement agreement reached between Totara Farm Trust and certain of its employees. The settlement relates to the payment of wages to employees who are permitted to sleep overnight at their workplace while on duty (sleepover wages).
Subpart 1 of Part 2 of the Act already applies to Totara Farm Trust, 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. It is not necessary to extend the application of this section to Totara Farm Trust and its employees, as no employees lodged claims regarding sleepover wages before the specified time.
Subpart 2 of Part 2 of Act: Settlement relating to Totara Farm Trust
Clause 5 extends the effect of subpart 2 of Part 2 of the Act (which implements the Idea settlement) to Totara Farm Trust and its employees, but with certain modifications that are set out in clauses 6 and 7.
Sections 21 and 22 of the Act provide for a staged progression towards the minimum hourly wage payable under the Minimum Wage Act 1983. Clause 6 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 commencement of the Act), and when those entitlements must be paid. The modification provides that the amount payable to employees of Totara Farm Trust for sleepovers performed during this time is either 50% of the applicable minimum hourly rate for each hour of the sleepover, or the amount the employee would have received immediately before the date of commencement of this order (whichever is greater). This differs from the formula set out in the Act for calculating the wages payable to an employee for performing sleepovers during this period. Clause 6 provides that the amount payable for sleepovers performed in this period 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 of the date on which payment is due 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 7 modifies section 22(1) of the Act, which sets out how sleepover wages are to be calculated for sleepovers performed after commencement of the Act by those employees to whom subpart 2 of Part 2 of the Act applies. The section implements a staged progression towards payment of the full minimum hourly wage payable under the Minimum Wage Act 1983. Under clause 7, for sleepovers performed on or after 18 October 2011, an employee of Totara Farm Trust will be entitled to be paid either the rates specified in the Act or the amount the employee would have received immediately before the date of commencement of this order, whichever is greater.
