PINNACE HR ALERT: Decision – Variations to the Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services Industry Award 2010
OPERATIVE DATE: 1 August 2013
We advise employers that on Thursday 1 August 2013, the Federal Fair Work Commission handed down its decision regarding variations sought by the Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services
Union (ASU) to the Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services Industry Award 2010. The Award variations are as follows.
Casual Employee Penalties
New penalties apply for casuals under this award which include:
- ordinary hours worked between midnight on Friday and midnight on Saturday will be paid for at the rate of time and a half (150%)
- ordinary hours worked between midnight on Saturday and midnight on Sunday will be paid for at the rate of double time (200%).
Note:
- the Sunday penalty will be subject to Transitional Arrangements.
- the rates prescribed will be in substitution for and not cumulative upon the casual loading prescribed therefore Casual employees will not receive a casual loading on top of the shift allowance.
Part Time Employees
The outcome of the decision includes the insertion of a new subclause 10.3 (c) for part time employees.
This means that prior to the commencement of employment, the employer and employee must create a written agreement which provides agreement on a regular pattern of work including:
- the number of hours to be worked each week
- the days of the week the employee will work
- the starting and finishing times each day
If there is any agreed variation to the regular pattern of work the employer and employee will record this in writing.
Small Business Redundancy
In addition, the decision expands Small Business Redundancy to include a new clause 12.7 which now includes the Crisis Assistance, Supported Housing (South Australia) Award 2000 provisions.
