We have created a new allowance “10% travel allowance - Sunday & Public Holiday” per Clause 63.5. This allowance is for Production and Support staff who is required to travel on Sunday and Public Holidays when they are not rostered to work. Employees need to select work type on timesheet, and should enter a maximum of 1 unit per day.
NB: There is a system limitation where we do not restrict selecting this allowance and entering hours worked on the same day, however, FWO has advised that this allowance is payable only when employees have not been rostered to work. If the employee is rostered to work on Sunday (clause 6.34(a)) or on Public Holiday (clause 21.5) and directed to travel for work purposes, the time spent travelling will be deemed time worked and paid as per the relevant clause.
