Designated Hours Employees will work an average of 37.5 hours per 7 days (Monday to Sunday) over a four week settlement period. For health and safety reasons Employees should not work more than 10 hours ordinary duty on any one day unless specifically approved by their Manager to do so; nor should Employees work more than five consecutive hours without at least a 30 minute break. Where an Employee is required to work abnormally long hours (including due to travel requirements) and are not eligible for overtime payment or to use flextime provisions, some TOIL of extra hours may be permitted by Managers. Flexible working hours The bandwidth for ordinary hours will be from Monday to Friday (other than on public holidays and other days which are not working days for the Department\u2019s Employees) and: For NMI Employees\u20147.00 am to 9.00 pm; For Questacon Employees\u20147.00 am to 10.00 pm; and For all other Employees\u20147.00 am to 7.00 pm.

More detailed guidance is available in the Department\u2019s policies and procedures relating to flexible working hours. Working flexible hours could include variations in attendance times and short term absences (TOIL) without the need for a leave application. Part-time work and/or job sharing Employees will have access to part-time work and job share arrangements in appropriate circumstances. The specified weekly hours for Part-Time Employees can be any number of hours less than full-time hours, and will be a minimum of three consecutive hours on any day (or an alternative period agreed by the Secretary and the Employee). Regular hours included in part-time work agreements must be within the bandwidth hours specified in clause 206. However, ongoing Part-Time Employees will be able to access more flexible working hours with the approval of their Managers. More detailed guidance on part-time work and job share arrangements is available in the Department\u2019s policies and procedures relating to part-time work. All Employees returning from a period of leave that is coupled with the birth, adoption or Fostering of a child will be guaranteed part-time work up to the child\u2019s sixth birthday. The Secretary may approve part-time work arrangements for parents who do not otherwise meet the requirements of clause 213 up to the child\u2019s sixth birthday. Applications for part-time work arrangements for such parents will only be refused on the basis of genuine operational reasons. Family assistance arrangements The Department will provide a vacation child care subsidy on production of a receipt from an accredited school holiday program provider in the amount of $28 per day, or $14 per half day, per primary school age child on days the parent(s)/guardian(s) attends work. Where more than one carer is employed by the Department, the subsidy will only be paid when both attend work. The Department will provide additional family assistance as follows: Employees who are breastfeeding shall be provided with the facilities and support necessary. Employees taking lactation breaks will be considered on duty; and women in their third trimester will be provided with a car park or alternative arrangements where agreed between the Employee and their Manager; and Employees will have access to a work/life information and referral service that provides information on options for child care, elder care and care for dependants with a disability.
