Shift Working. Shift working means a situation in which more than one shift of no less than eight hours is worked on a job in a 24-hour period and such shifts do not overlap. On all work which is carried out on two or more shifts in a 24-hour period the following provisions shall apply: The first shift in the week shall be the first shift that ends after midnight on Sunday. The normal hours of a shift shall be eight hours, excluding meal breaks, notwithstanding which, the hours to be worked on any particular shift shall be established by the employer. The rate payable for the normal hours of the shift shall be the operative’s normal hourly rate plus, in the case of an operative completing a shift, a shift allowance of 14% of the normal hourly rate. An operative required to work continuously for over eight hours on a shift or shifts shall be paid at the rate of time and a half, plus a shift allowance of 14% of his normal hourly rate, for the first four hours beyond eight hours and thereafter at double time but such double time payment shall not be enhanced by the 14% allowance (i.e. the maximum rate in any circumstances shall be double the normal hourly rate.) After having worked five complete shifts in a week an operative shall on the first shift thereafter be paid at the rate of time and half of normal rate plus 12½% shift allowance for the first eight hours of the shift, and thereafter on any subsequent shift in that week at the rate of double time, but with no shift allowance. Where the nature of the work is such as to require an operative to remain at the work station and remain available for work during mealtimes, a shift allowance of 20% shall apply instead of the 14% or 12½% otherwise referred to in this Rule.

Shift payments are calculated on the basic salary and are part of the normal week’s pay as defined above. A shift worker is an employee who works in the same job over a regular rostered pattern of work, which extends outside the normal eleven hour day, with the exception of night work. To attract the shift payment the employee must be rostered into all of the shift sessions over the period of the roster. Overtime hours at plain time or premium rates do not attract any form of shift payment. Shift allowances are only paid to temporary or casual workers on the same basis as permanent workers i.e. when the full shift pattern is worked.
