AN140062 – Clay Products Industry Award - State 2003
6.3.1 The 38 hour week shall be implemented on one of the following ways, most suitable to the particular enterprise, after consultation with, and giving reasonable consideration to the wishes of the employees concerned:
(a) by employees working less than 8 ordinary hours each day; or
(b) by employees working less than 8 ordinary hours on one or more days each work cycle; or
(c) by fixing one or more work days on which all employees will be off during a particular work cycle; or
(d) by rostering employees off on various days of the week during a particular work cycle, so that each employee has one work day off during that cycle.
6.3.2 Subject to clause 6.1.1(g), employees may agree that the ordinary hours of work are to exceed 8 on any day, thus enabling more than one work day to be taken off during a particular work cycle.
6.3.3 Regardless of any other provision in clause 6.3, where the arrangement of ordinary hours of work provides for a rostered day off, the employer and the majority of employees concerned, may agree to accrue up to a maximum of 5 rostered days off. Where such agreement has been reached, each accrued rostered day off must be taken within 12 calendar months of the date on which that rostered day off was accrued. Consent to accrue rostered days off will not be unreasonably withheld by either party.
6.3.4 Different methods of working a 38 hour week may apply to individual employees, groups or sections of employees in the business concerned.
