The Roster Clause Samples
The Roster. For the avoidance of doubt, the shift and roster provisions contained within Section I of the Agreement (clause 35) apply to the VCGLR. The shift and roster provisions set out below are additional to those contained in Section I of the Agreement. Where any inconsistency arises, the provisions in this Appendix prevail. For the purposes of clause 261 of this Appendix, “standard roster” refers to the character of the roster (as referred to in clause 11 of Section I of the Agreement) as developed by the Employer in consultation with Inspectors through the Roster Committee in accordance with the consultation process described below. The Employer will establish a committee (Roster Committee) to facilitate consultation with Inspectors in relation to all standard roster changes that affect the character of the roster (as referred to in clause 11 of Section I of the Agreement). The Roster Committee will be the primary means to facilitate such consultation. The Roster Committee will consist of a maximum of six members comprising of two CPSU staff delegates, two management representatives of the Employer, one Health and Safety Representative and not more than one affected Inspector. The Employer will arrange meetings for the Roster Committee for the purposes of consulting with Inspector representatives on its proposal to introduce any amended standard roster. The Employer will minute the meetings of the Roster Committee and take into account the views of the Inspector representatives in settling the standard roster. The Roster Committee must take into account the following factors in developing an amended standard roster: any risk to Inspectors’ health and safety; the needs and preferences of the Employer; Inspectors’ personal circumstances, including family responsibilities and preferences; the nature of the Inspectors’ roles; the need for flexibility to alter rostered shifts; the desirability of certainty through the creation of a known roster cycle; and the preference for equitable distribution of Shift Work amongst Inspectors. Where the Employer has proposed to amend the standard roster, the employer will develop an amended standard roster and consult with the Roster Committee no later than 4 weeks prior from the commencement of the planned new roster period. This consultation period commences upon receipt of the draft roster and concludes no later than 14 calendar days from the commencement of the planned roster period (Consultation Period).

The Roster. (i) All employees’, including non-shift worker employees, ordinary hours of work shall be rostered.
(ii) Rosters will be published in advance and preferably 21 days with a minimum of 14 days prior to the commencement of the roster, provided that less notice may be given in exceptional circumstances. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ posted will show duties for a minimum 21-day period.
(iii) Changes in rosters, once posted, shall be by mutual agreement between the employer and the employee and where the employer wishes to rearrange the employees rostered ordinary hours of work it shall give not less than seven (7) days’ written notice. This clause is to be read in conjunction with clause 12.1 (vi).
(iv) The employer’s consent is required when employees wish to rearrange or swap their shifts or roster.
(v) Where the employer has consented to employees rearranging shifts or their roster, consent will not ordinarily be given if the swap invokes overtime provisions outlined in clause 10.7.
(vi) Where an employee has agreed to an additional rostered shift, after the roster has been published, and where this shift is later cancelled, the employee will be paid a minimum of three (3) hours ordinary pay if the shift is cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice. Where an employee is no longer required in their primary area of work for their rostered ordinary hours (e.g. because a theatre list is cancelled), they shall be provided with alternative work within their scope. However, if the work is non-urgent and non-essential and the employee would prefer to take leave, they can request this (annual holidays, alternative holidays, or leave without pay) and this can be approved. Approval of a request of this nature will not be unreasonably withheld.
