1.7.2 The parties commit themselves to the following principles as part of the structural efficiency process and have agreed to participate in a testing process in accordance with the provisions of this clause -

(1) Acceptance in principle that the new award skill level definitions will be more suitable for the needs of the industry, sometimes more broadly based, in other matters more truly reflective of the different skill levels of the tasks now performed, but which shall incorporate the ability for an employee to perform a wider range of duties where appropriate.

(2) The parties will create a genuine career path for employees which allows advancement based on industry accreditation and access to training.

(3) Co-operation in the transition from the old structure to the new structure in an orderly manner without creating false expectations or disputation.

PART 1 - GENERAL

2. - CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT

2.1 - CONTRACT OF SERVICE

2.1.1 (1) A contract of service to which PART 1 - GENERAL of this Award applies may be terminated in accordance with the provisions of this clause and not otherwise but this subclause does not operate so as to prevent any party to a contract from giving a greater period of notice than is hereinafter prescribed, nor to affect an employer's right to dismiss an employee without notice for serious misconduct, and an employee so dismissed shall be paid for the time worked up to the time of dismissal only.

(2) For the purposes of 2.1.1(1), the definition of "serious misconduct" is misconduct, including conduct as defined by regulation 12.10 of Division 4 of Part 12 of Chapter 2 of the Workplace Relations Regulations 2006, of such a nature that it would be unreasonable to require the employer to continue the employment of the employee concerned during the required period of notice.

(3) Subject to the provisions of this clause, a party to a contract of service may, on any day give to the other party the appropriate period of notice of termination of the contract prescribed in 2.1.2 and the contract terminates when that period expires.

2.1.2 Notice of Termination by Employer

PERIOD OF CONTINUOUS SERVICE WITH THE EMPLOYER

PERIOD OF NOTICE

Not more than 1 year At least 1 week

More than 1 year but less than 3 years At least 2 weeks

More than 3 years but less than 5 years At least 3 weeks

More than 5 years At least 4 weeks

(2) An employee who at the time of being given notice is over 45 years of age and who at the date of termination has completed two years' continuous service with the employer, shall be entitled to one week's notice in addition to the notice prescribed in 2.1.2(1).

(3) Payment in lieu of the notice prescribed in 2.1.2(1) and 2.1.2(2) shall be made if the appropriate notice period is not given. Provided that employment may be terminated by part of the period of notice specified and part payment in lieu thereof.

(4) In calculating any payment in lieu of notice the employer shall pay the employee an amount that is equal to, or exceeds, the total of all amounts that, if the employee's employment had continued until the end of the required notice period, the employer would have become liable to pay to the employee because of the employment continuing during that period. That total must be worked out on the basis of:

(a) the employee's ordinary hours of work (even if they are not standard hours); and

(b) the amounts ordinarily payable to the employee in respect of those hours, including for example, allowances, loadings and penalties; and

(c) any other amounts payable under the employee's contract of employment.

(5) The period of notice in this subclause shall not apply in the case of probationary employees where the duration of the probation is three months or for a longer period and is reasonable having regard to the nature and the circumstances of the employment, apprentices, trainees engaged under a traineeship agreement or an approved traineeship, employees engaged for a specific period of time or for a specific task or tasks, or short-term casual employees.

(6) For the purposes of this clause a "short-term casual employee" refers to any casual employee, other than a casual employee with at least twelve (12) months regular and systematic employment who would, but for the decision to terminate his or her employment, have a reasonable expectation of continuing employment.

(7) For the purpose of this clause continuity of service shall be calculated in accordance with regulation 12.11 of Division 4 of Part 12 of Chapter 2 of the Workplace Relations Regulations 2006.

(8) In order to terminate the employment of a short-term casual employee the employer shall give the employee one hour's notice, or one hour's wages in lieu of notice.

(9) The provisions of this subclause shall not apply in any case where the employee's contract of service is changed from PART 1 - GENERAL to PART 2 – CONSTRUCTION WORK, of this Award.

(10) An employee is not entitled to notice under this clause where the termination of employment occurs because of succession, assignment or transmission of the business of the employer to another person and the requirements of regulation 12.13(1)(a) and (b) of Division 4 of Part 12 of Chapter 2 of the Workplace Relations Regulations 2006 are met.

2.1.3 Notice of Termination by Employee

(1) The notice of termination required to be given by an employee shall be the same as that required of an employer, save and except that there shall be no additional notice based on the age of the employee concerned, and the required period of notice to be given by any casual employee (whether or not a short-term casual employee) shall be one hour.

(2) If an employee fails to give the required notice or having given, or been given, such notice leaves before the notice expires, the employee forfeits the entitlement to any moneys owing to the employee under this Award except to the extent that those moneys exceed the ordinary wages for the required period of notice.

2.1.4 Time Off During Notice Period

(1) During the period of notice of termination given by the employer an employee shall be allowed up to one day's time off without loss of pay during each week of notice for the purpose of seeking other employment.

2.1.7 Standing Down of Employees

(1) (a) The employer is entitled to deduct payment for any day or part of a day on which an employee (including an apprentice) cannot be usefully employed because of industrial action by any of the unions party to this Award, or by any other association or union.

(b) If an employee is required to attend for work on any day but because of failure or shortage of electric power work is not provided, such employee shall be entitled to two hours' pay and further, where any employee commences work he or she shall be provided with four hours' employment or be paid for four hours' work.

(2) The provisions of 2.1.7(1) also apply where the employee cannot be usefully employed through any cause which the employer could not reasonably have prevented but only if, and to the extent that, the employer and the union or unions concerned so agree or, in the event of disagreement, the Board of Reference so determines.

(3) Where the stoppage of work has resulted from a breakdown of the employer's machinery the Board of Reference, in determining a dispute under 2.1.7(2), shall have regard for the duration of the stoppage and the endeavours made by the employer to repair the breakdown.

2.2 - TRAINING

4.6.2 Wages shall be paid as follows:-

(1) Actual 38 ordinary hours

In the case of an employee who works 38 ordinary hours each week, wages shall be paid weekly or fortnightly according to the actual ordinary hours worked each week or fortnight.

(2) Average of 38 ordinary hours

Subject to 4.6.3 and 4.6.4, in the case of an employee who works an average of 38 ordinary hours each week during a particular work cycle, wages shall be paid weekly or fortnightly according to a weekly average of ordinary hours worked even though more or less than 38 ordinary hours may be worked in any particular week of the work cycle.

SPECIAL NOTE - Explanation of Averaging System

As provided in 4.6.2(2) an employee whose ordinary hours may be more or less than 38 in any particular week of a work cycle, is to be paid the wage on the basis of an average of 38 ordinary hours so as to avoid fluctuating wage payments each week. An explanation of the averaging system of paying wages is set out below:

(a) Clause 3.1 - Hours in 3.1.3(1)(c) and 3.1.3(1)(d) provides that in implementing a 38-hour week the ordinary hours of an employee may be arranged so that the employee is entitled to a day off, on a fixed day or rostered day basis, during each work cycle. It is in these circumstances that the averaging system would apply.

(b) If the 38 hour week is to be implemented so as to give an employee a day off in each work cycle this would be achieved if, during a work cycle of 28 consecutive days (that is, over four consecutive weeks) the employee's ordinary hours were arranged on the basis that for three of the four weeks the employee worked 40 ordinary hours each week and in the fourth week worked 32 ordinary hours. That is, the employee would work for 8 ordinary hours each day, Monday to Friday inclusive for three weeks and 8 ordinary hours on four days only in the fourth week - a total of 19 days during the work cycle.

(c) In such a case the averaging system applies and the weekly wage rates for ordinary hours of work applicable to the employee shall be the average weekly wage rates set out for the employee's classification in Clause 4.8 - Wages and Supplementary Payments of PART 1 - GENERAL or Clause 13 - Wages of PART 2 - CONSTRUCTION WORK of this Award, and shall be paid each week even though more or less than 38 ordinary hours are worked that week.

In effect, under the averaging system, the employee accrues a "credit" each day the employee works actual ordinary hours in excess of the daily average which would otherwise be 7 hours 36 minutes. This "credit" is carried forward so that in the week of the cycle that the employee works only four days, the actual pay would be for an average of 38 ordinary hours even though, that week, the employee works a total of 32 ordinary hours.

Consequently, for each day an employee works 8 ordinary hours the employee accrues a "credit" of 24 minutes (0.4 hours). The maximum "credit" the employee may accrue under this system is 0.4 hours on 19 days; that is, a total of 7 hours 36 minutes.

(d) As provided in 4.6.3, an employee will not accrue a "credit" for each day the employee is absent from duty other than on paid leave.

4.6.3 Absences from Duty

(1) An employee whose ordinary hours are arranged in accordance with 3.1.3(1)(c) or 3.1.3(1)(d) of Clause 3.1 - Hours of this Award and who is paid wages in accordance with 4.6.2(1) and is absent from duty (other than on paid leave) shall, for each day the employee is so absent, lose average pay for that day calculated by dividing the employee's average weekly wage rate by 5.

An employee who is so absent from duty for part of a day shall lose average pay for each hour the employee is absent by dividing the employee's average daily pay rate by 8.

(2) Provided when such an employee is absent from duty for a whole day the employee will not accrue a "credit" because the employee would not have worked ordinary hours that day in excess of 7 hours 36 minutes for which the employee would otherwise have been paid. Consequently, during the week of the work cycle the employee is to work less than 38 ordinary hours the employee will not be entitled to average pay for that week. In that week, the average pay will be reduced by the amount of the "credit" the employee does not accrue for each whole day during the work cycle the employee is absent.

The amount by which an employee's average weekly pay will be reduced when the employee is absent from duty (other than on paid leave) is to be calculated as follows:

Total of "credits" not accrued during cycle

xaverage weekly pay

38

Examples

1 Employee takes one day off without authorisation in first week of cycleWeek of Cycle Payment1st week = average weekly pay less one day's pay (i.e. 1/5th)2nd & 3rd weeks = average weekly pay each week4th Week = average pay less credit not accrued on day of absence

= average pay less 0.4 hours x (average weekly pay / 38)

2. Employee takes each of the 4 days off without authorisation in the 4th week.Week of Cycle Payment1st, 2nd & 3rd weeks = average pay each week4th week = average pay less 4/5ths of average pay for the four days absent less

total of credits not accrued that week= 1/5th average pay less 4 x 0.4 hours x (average weekly pay / 38)= 1/5th average pay less 1.6 hours x (average weekly pay / 38)

4.6.4 Alternative Method of Payment

An alternative method of paying wages to that prescribed by 4.6.2 and 4.6.3 may be agreed between the employer and the majority of the employees concerned.

4.6.5 Day Off Coinciding with Pay Day

In the event that an employee, by virtue of the arrangement of the employee's ordinary working hours, is to take a day off duty on a day which coincides with pay day, such employee shall be paid no later than the working day immediately following pay day. Provided that, where the employer is able to make suitable arrangements, wages may be paid on the working day preceding pay day.

4.6.6 Payment by Cheque or Electronic Fund Transfer

Where an employee and the employer agree, the employee's wages may be paid by cheque or direct transfer into the employee's bank (or other recognised financial institution) account. Notwithstanding this provision, if the employer and the majority of employees agree, all employees may be paid their wages by cheque or direct transfer into an employee's bank (or other recognised financial institution) account.

4.6.7 Termination of Employment

An employee who lawfully leaves the employment or is dismissed for reasons other than misconduct shall be paid all monies due at the termination of service with the employer.

Provided that in the case of an employee whose ordinary hours are arranged in accordance with 3.1.3(1)(c) or 3.1.3(1)(d) of Clause 3.1 - Hours of this Award and who is paid average pay and who has not taken the day off due to the employee during the work cycle in which the employment is terminated, the wages due to that employee shall include a total of credits accrued during the work cycle as detailed in the Special Note following 4.6.2(2).

Provided further, where the employee has taken a day off during the work cycle in which the employment is terminated, the wages due to that employee shall be reduced by the total of credits which have not accrued during the work cycle.

4.6.8 Details of Payments to be Given

Where an employee requests the employer to state in writing with respect to each week's wages the amount of wages to which the employee is entitled, the amount of deductions made therefrom, the net

amount being paid, and the number of hours worked, the employer shall do so not less than two (2) hours before the employee is paid.

4.6.9 Calculation of Hourly Rate

Except as provided in 4.6.3 the ordinary rate per hour shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate weekly rate by 38.
