 Penalty Rates

Long Shifts

Should a  crew person be given a 30 minute break and the shift extends between 10 hours and 12 hours worked , 1.5 times is charged for the time between those hours. Double time is charged for hours beyond 12 hours (30 minute meal breaks are not billed for).

Should a  crew person not be given a break and the shift extends between 8 hours and 10 hours, 1.5 times is charged for the time between those hours. Double time is charged for hours beyond 10 hours.

Public Holidays

Public Holidays and the 24^th and 31^st December are charged 2x (i.e. double) of the standard rate (which is rate Rate A). No long shift penalties apply on these days.

Other Rates

If a crew person has to transport themselves from one site to another during a shift (meaning transport between sites is not provided), a site change fee of $38 + GST is charged. This is to help the crew with fuel and parking expenses that may be incurred.

We charge in 30 minute blocks. If a shift finishes within 10 minutes past a 30 minute block, it gets rounded down. If a shift ends past 11 minutes in a 30 minute block, it gets rounded up.

Example:

A shift length of 4 hours and 40 minutes will be charge at 4 hours and 30 minutes. A shift length of 4 hours and 45 minutes will be charged at 5 hours.

Long Shifts That Are Much Shorter Than Booked

Should a very long shift end much earlier than booked, 75% of the shift length will be charged for.

Example:

Should a shift booked for 8 hours end after 4 hours, 75% of the time booked will be charge. In this case 8 hours x 0.75 = 6 hours. So 6 hours will be billed.

Cancellation Charges

If a shift is cancelled 16 hours or less before the start time, the shift will be charged for. If the shift is a very long one, the 75% rule applies.
