Australia Employment Act and Labour Law<\/b>
\nThe Australian federal legislation for employment and workplace regulations are governed through The Fair Work Act (2009) which Australian employers are required to uphold to ensure the employees’ rights are well respected regarding working hours, overtime, rest days, leave entitlement and more.<\/p>\n

Modern Awards<\/b>
\nImplemented since the 1st of January, 2010. The Modern Awards are applied by law in over 122 industries and numerous occupations (or a combination of both) that comprise the majority of the workforce in Australia. This award will cover entitlements in several aspects such as:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n


\n\u2022 Pay
\n\u2022 Hours of work
\n\u2022 Rosters
\n\u2022 Break
\n\u2022 Allowances
\n\u2022 Penalty rates
\n\u2022 Overtime<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0Working Hours<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Employees are not required to work without a reasonable request outside of the 38 weekly work hours.<\/p>\n

Any hours of leave or absence regardless if paid or unpaid, are to be treated as part of the hours of work in a week as long the leaves are within the authorisation of:
\ni) The Employer
\nii) The Employees\u2019 term of employment
\niii) Government Authority such as Commonwealth, State or Territory Law<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Working Time (Spread of Hours)<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Overtime<\/b>
\nThe maximum limit and range for overtime are to be determined based on the industries that are covered by Modern Awards. To find out the terms for the industry’s additional work hours, you may refer to the information provided by Australia Fair Work Ombudsman here.<\/p>\n

Some awards reward the employee by allowing them to take paid time off instead of overtime pay too.<\/p>\n

Averaging The Hours of Work Under An Award Or Agreement<\/b>
\nThe average working hours may stretch over a specific period greater than a week given that the provisions are included within an award, agreement or within a reasonable request.
\n
\nExample:
\nA full-time employee that would ordinarily work 152 hours over four weeks (average of 38 hours per week), may choose to span out lesser or more towards other weeks over those four weeks.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Averaging Work Hours Sample<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Total 4 weeks with a total of 152 work hours (Average to 38 work hours per week).<\/span><\/span><\/span>Do note that the arrangement for averaging out the work hours should also be determined within reason as well as other factors such as family responsibilities, health, safety and relevance of the work hours. The employee also has the right to refuse any averaging work hours arrangement, likewise, employers are not allowed to force the averaging arrangement upon employees unlawfully.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Averaging The Hours of Work for Employees without Award\/Agreement<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
Employees that are free from the award or agreement may choose to accept the arrangement in writing to average out their ordinary hours of work.<\/span><\/span><\/span>Maximum Averaging Period: 26 weeks<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that the maximum work hours still apply:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Flexible Working Arrangement<\/b>
\nAn employee has the right to request their employer for a flexible work arrangement for any reasons such as:
\ni) A parent or a carer(Carer Recognition Act 2010) having the responsibility to take care of a child who is of school age or younger
\nii) Disability
\niii) Age of 55 or older
\niv) Experiencing family violence
\nv) Providing support and care for an immediate family or household experiencing family violence.<\/p>\n

Flexible work arrangements may include:<\/b>
\ni) Working Hours (reduce hours, work time start and finish time etc.)
\nii) Work Patterns (split shift, job sharing etc.)
\niii) Work Locations (Work from home, remote location, etc.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Casual Employees are not entitled to make the flexible work request unless:
\ni) Serving on a regular and systematic basis continuously for 12 months of employment
\nii) Employer has a reasonable expectation of continuing the employee\u2019s employment on a regular and systematic basis<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Breaks and Daily Rest<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/b>
\nAn employee is allowed to have Rest Breaks for a short time in between the work hours. The rest breaks can also be referred to as \u2018crib breaks\u2019, \u2018rest pauses\u2019 or \u2018tea breaks\u2019.<\/span><\/span><\/span>A Meal Break has a longer rest period without interruption that allows employees to consume their meals.<\/p>\n

Similar to Overtime, an award or agreement may provide paid or unpaid rest\/meal breaks to the employees such as:
\ni) Break length
\nii) Break types and the number of breaks in between the expected work hours
\niii) Rules about breaks and payment<\/p>\n

An award may also provide the minimum amount of time off or daily rest in between the shift and work roster of the employees.<\/p>\n

Find out the break rules and daily rest set out by the award for your industry over here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Roster Changes and Working on a Rostered Day Off<\/b>
\nAny changes that an employer wants to make to an employee\u2019s regular work roster or ordinary hours of work are required to be discussed with the employee first. They will need to consider a few factors:
\ni) Information on the expected changes
\nii) Gather employee feedback on the potential impact of the changes
\niii) Review and consider the feedback from the employee<\/span><\/span><\/span>In regards to employees working on a period that is not required to work, Rostered Day Off (RDO), the employee’s supposed day off may be paid or unpaid depending on the rules for RDO that are set out by the award or registered agreement. Typically RDOs are paid due to employees working extra hours when summed over a set time.<\/p>\n

For more information on the roster changes rule, you may refer to it here. As for the information regarding RDO, you may refer to it here<\/a>.\n<\/div>\n
