For the purposes of the settlement with historic employees of The Youth Horizons Trust, section 16(1) of the Act must be read as if paragraph (b) were replaced by the following:
The Youth Horizons Trust must pay any back wages for a sleepover that are payable to a qualifying employee no later than 2 months after the date of commencement of this order.
This clause applies instead of sections 21 and 22 of the Act in relation to the entitlements of employees of The Youth Horizons Trust for sleepovers performed after 31 October 2011.

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 between The Youth Horizons Trust and certain of its employees relating 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 litigation between Idea Services Limited and Timata Hou Limited and their employees (the Idea settlement). Subpart 1 of Part 2 of the Act extinguishes certain 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.
The Youth Horizons Trust employs staff to provide certain services, including sleepovers, that are funded by Vote Social Development. Clause 5 modifies section 8 of the Act to extend the application of subpart 1 of Part 2 of the Act to The Youth Horizons Trust. The extension will prevent new civil proceedings being commenced relating to sleepover wages that could have been the subject of a claim extinguished under section 9 of the Act. Section 9 of the Act extinguishes claims by employees of Idea Services Limited and Timata Hou Limited for sleepover wages. Clause 6 extends the effect of section 9 of the Act to also extinguish claims by employees of The Youth Horizons Trust.
Subpart 2 of Part 2: Settlement relating to The Youth Horizons Trust
Clause 7 extends the application of subpart 2 of Part 2 of the Act (which implements the Idea settlement) to The Youth Horizons Trust and its employees, but with certain modifications that are set out in the following clauses.
Clauses 8, 9, and 10 (which modify sections 14, 15, and 16 of the Act respectively) apply to current, recent, and historic employees of The Youth Horizons Trust. Sections 14, 15, and 16 of the Act relate to the payment of back wages. The modifications ensure that—
the period of time in relation to which back wages are payable to employees of The Youth Horizons Trust is extended to the close of 31 October 2011; and
Clause 11 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 employees 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 Youth Horizons Trust.
Clause 12 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 Youth Horizons Trust 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 towards the minimum hourly wage payable under the Minimum Wage Act 1983. Clause 13 modifies those sections to implement the settlement agreed between the parties. The clause provides that,—
for the period 1 November 2011 to 30 June 2012, an employee of The Youth Horizons Trust is entitled to be paid 50% of the applicable minimum hourly rate for each hour of a sleepover:
for the period 1 July 2012 to 31 December 2012, an employee of The Youth Horizons Trust is entitled to be paid 75% of the applicable minimum hourly rate for each hour of a sleepover:
after 1 January 2013, an employee of The Youth Horizons Trust will be entitled to be paid 100% of the minimum hourly wage.
