The above requirement does not relate to afterhours call outs or other work where after hours rates are chargeable to the customer, in all such cases overtime rates apply. Where the employee is required to commence work on a site other than their normal place of work, the estimated difference in travel time from the employee’s residence to the normal place of work, shall be paid. Unreasonable travel distances will not be expected. Where excessive travel is required, with the combination of travel and actual hours worked being greater than 16 hours each day for 2 days or more (causing 32 Hours to be worked in any 48 Hour period), the employee through negotiation with the company may elect to be provided accommodation as per clause 7.1.
