A recognised workplace representative will be released from the performance of normal duty for reasonable periods to: • represent employees in bargaining; • represent the interests of employees to the employer and to industrial tribunals or courts; • undertake necessary preparation for bargaining or other meetings in which they will represent employees’ interests. This includes consulting with the employees that they represent; • meet the employer to represent employee interests; • address new employees about the benefits of union membership at the time they enter employment; and • distribute official union publications at a time convenient to the workplace. While undertaking the activities listed in the preceding clause on a normal rostered day on duty, the recognised workplace representative will be regarded as being on duty and will not be required to apply for leave. They will be paid “ordinary time earnings” i.e. the classification rate, superannuation and shift loading which would otherwise be paid. The recognised workplace representative will not be entitled to overtime at the end of the roster cycle as a consequence of undertaking these activities.
