13. By deleting the amounts “$2.89” and “$14.21” appearing in clause 17.9 and inserting “$2.96” and “$14.57” respectively.

14. By deleting the example appearing in clause 20.2 and inserting the following:

Margaret is a part-time Level 1 employee. She works a non-permanent 5 hour shift on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Each shift starts at 6.00 pm and finishes at 11.00 pm.

The minimum hourly rate for a Level 1 employee is $21.71. Margaret will:

• work a total of 5 ordinary hours on night shift (Friday)
• work a total of 5 ordinary hours on Saturday
• work a total of 5 ordinary hours on Sunday

Step 1: Calculating ordinary time pay on night shift (Friday)

(a) Multiply the minimum hourly rate by the penalty rate for part-time employees working a Monday to Friday shift that finishes after 6.00 pm in column 3 of Table 7—Penalty rates, to establish the relevant night shift rate.

• Minimum hourly rate ($21.71) x % Monday to Friday shift finishing after 6.00pm—part-time employees (130%) = $28.22

(b) Multiply the relevant night shift rate by the number of ordinary hours worked to establish the total amount to be paid for working on night shift.

• $28.22 x 5 = $141.10

Step 2: Calculating ordinary time pay on Saturday

(a) Multiply the minimum hourly rate by the penalty rate for part-time employees working on a Saturday in column 3 of Table 7—Penalty rates to establish the relevant Saturday rate.

• Minimum hourly rate ($21.71) x % Saturday part-time penalty (165%) = $35.82

(b) Multiply the Saturday rate by the number of ordinary hours worked on Saturday to establish the total amount to be paid working on Saturday.

• $35.82 x 5 = $179.10

Step 3: Calculating ordinary time pay on Sunday

(a) Multiply the minimum hourly rate by the penalty rate for part-time employees working on a Sunday in column 3 of Table 7—Penalty rates to establish the relevant Sunday rate.

• Minimum hourly rate ($21.71) x % Sunday part-time penalty (215%) = $46.68

(b) Multiply the Sunday rate by the number of ordinary hours worked on Sunday to establish the total amount to be paid for working on Sunday.

• $46.68 x 5 = $233.40

Step 4: Calculating total pay

Add the total amount for night shift in Step 1(b) and the total amount for Saturday work in Step 2(b) and the total amount for Sunday work in Step 3(b) to establish the total pay for 3 shifts.

• $141.10 + $179.10 + $233.40 = $553.60

Margaret is paid a total of $553.60 for working 3 shifts.
