CLAUSE 20. REST PERIOD AFTER OVERTIME DUTY
OPDATE 15:03:91 1st pp on or after

(a) When overtime work is necessary it shall, wherever reasonably practicable, be so arranged that employees have at least ten consecutive hours off duty between the work of successive days.

(b) An employee who works so much overtime between the termination of his ordinary work on one day and the commencement of his ordinary work on the next day so that he has not had at least ten consecutive hours off duty between those times shall, subject to this clause, be released after completion of such overtime until he has had ten consecutive hours off duty without loss of pay for ordinary working time occurring during such absence. If, on the instructions of his employer, such an employee resumes or continues work without having had such ten consecutive hours off duty he shall be paid at double rates until he is released from duty for such period and he shall then be entitled to be absent until he has had ten consecutive hours off duty without loss of pay for ordinary working time occurring during such absence.

(c) The provisions of this clause shall apply in the case of shift workers as if eight hours were substituted for ten hours when overtime is worked:

(i) for the purpose of changing shift rosters; or

(ii) where a shift worker does not report for duty and a day worker or shift worker is required to replace such shift worker; or

(iii) where a shift is worked by arrangement between the employees themselves.
