19. PAYMENT AND PARTICULARS OF SALARIES

(i) All salaries and other payments shall be paid weekly or fortnightly, provided that payment for any overtime worked may be deferred to the pay day next following the completion of the working cycle within which such overtime is worked, but for no longer; provided further that the payment of shift and weekend penalties relating to work performed in the second week of a fortnightly roster period may be deferred to the pay day next following the completion of the working cycle within which such shifts were worked, but for no longer. Provided further that, for the purpose of adjustments of wages related to variations in the basic wage, the pay period shall be deemed to be weekly.

(ii) Employees shall have their salary paid into one account with a bank or other financial institution in New South Wales as nominated by the employee. Salaries shall be deposited by facilities in sufficient time to ensure that wages are available for withdrawal by employees by no later than pay day, provided that this requirement shall not apply where employees nominate accounts with non-bank financial institutions; but in such cases facilities shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that the wages of such employees are available for withdrawal by no later than pay day.

(iii) Notwithstanding the provisions of subclause (ii) of this clause, an employee who has given or has been given the required notice of termination of employment, in accordance with clause 36, Termination of Employment, shall be paid all moneys due to him/her prior to ceasing duty on the last day of employment.

Where an employee is summarily dismissed or his/her services are terminated without due notice, any moneys due to him/her shall be paid as soon as possible after such dismissal or termination, but in any case not more than three days thereafter.

(iv) On each pay day an employee, in respect of the payment then due, shall be furnished with a written statement containing the following particulars, namely: name, the amount of ordinary salary, the total number of hours or overtime worked, if any, the amount of any overtime payment, the amount of any other moneys paid and the purpose for which they are paid, the amount of the deductions made from the total earnings and the nature thereof.
