Working Part Time. The Basics A part-time employee is engaged to work fewer than 35 ordinary hours or 38 ordinary hours per week as defined in Clause 22 - What are my hours of work? Prior to commencing part time work, we will agree in writing on your work conditions including hours, days and commencement times. These conditions may be varied by consent. The provisions in our Agreement apply to part time employees on a pro-rata basis according to the number of ordinary hours worked (unless a particular clause in our Agreement expressly provides otherwise). Further information on these arrangements is set out in Schedule 4.7 - Clause 25 Part-time Employment - Local Government (State) Award 2017. Working additional part time hours If you are a part time employee, you may be asked to work additional ordinary hours by agreement. If this occurs (within the ordinary spread of hours for your position) you can elect to be paid at your ordinary rate or bank the additional part time hours to be used at a later date. Banked hours will be paid at your ordinary rate. Additional banked hours should be taken at a mutually agreed time, as soon as possible and within 6 months of accruing the hours. Additional banked hours should be taken before using other accrued leave provisions and the maximum banked hours must not be more than your ordinary weekly hours of work. If you work outside the spread of hours for your position or in excess of the ordinary hours of the position (35 or 38 hours as per Clause 22 - What are my hours of work?) you will be entitled to overtime as set out in Clause 24 - What will I be paid if I am required overtime? Beresfield Community Children's Education Centre (BCCEC) employees can choose to bank additional hours greater than the ordinary weekly hours of work. These hours can be taken at a mutually convenient time, provided that any outstanding accumulation is taken in the Christmas/New Year holiday period. Job Share Employment This is a form of part time employment where more than one person shares a role and the hours of work, as per a written agreement. Both job share employees will receive pro-rata pay and conditions in proportion to the ordinary hours worked. Further information on these arrangements is set out in Schedule 4.8 - Clause 27 Job Share Employment - Local Government (State) Award 2017.
Working Part Time. An employee may find that ELWP is not the most suitable option for their personal circumstances. An employee may wish to make a request to change their employment status from full-time to part-time for a period of time, or permanently, dependent on their personal circumstances. The employee must put their request in writing and discuss their request with their manager to ensure their manager fully understands the employee’s reasons for the request. The manager and the relevant GLT manager, where appropriate, will then consider the employee’s request in light of factors such as team workload, individual job responsibilities, future business needs and projects, the reason for the request. If an employee’s request is approved, a new letter of offer will be given to the employee stating their changed terms of employment.
