COMMENCEMENT AND CESSATION OF DUTIES. Employees will start work at their rostered starting point, at their rostered starting time and cease work, at the site specified in their roster, at their rostered finishing time, or at the logical conclusion of the job on which they are working. An employee who is required to change the point at which they commence duties, as specified on their roster, will be given at least 24 hours notice of the change, unless there is genuine agreement between the Manager and employee to other suitable arrangements. The Program will, wherever possible, provide a vehicle to transport employees and appropriate arrangements will be made to fill the vehicle with employees working at the same site. Employees working at same site will travel in the Program vehicle unless other arrangements are agreed between the employee and the Team Leader, providing that such other arrangements do not incur any additional cost to the Program. Where an employee travels to and from a work site in a Program vehicle at the start or end of any day (i.e., before work commences or after work concludes), and such travel exceeds his/her normal travel to and from work, he/she will receive an allowance for such travel, and travel time will not be paid. Where an employee is required to stay overnight for any work purposes, both within and outside the municipality, he/she will be reimbursed for actual, reasonable accommodation and meal costs, providing such costs have been approved in advance, or the Program will arrange mutually acceptable accommodation in advance and pay all reasonable costs incurred. Overnight stay provisions shall only apply for work outside an 80 kilometres radius (one way) of the starting point of work - Swan Hill, Robinvale or Nyah Depot and where the job extends beyond two days work. Employees accessing overnight stay provisions shall be required to work 10 hour days at ordinary rates of pay until the job is completed. An employee who is requested and agrees to use his/her private vehicle to undertake work related travel will be compensated at the relevant Award rate, unless other arrangements are made by agreement between the employee and Manager.
