(1) When computing overtime, the district allowances shall not be computed as an addition to the day's pay.
(2) These overtime rates shall not apply to excess time worked due to private arrangement between the employees themselves or owing to a relieving employee failing to come on duty at the proper time. The time for which any employee may be paid at ordinary rates instead of overtime due to a relieving employee failing to come on duty at the proper time, shall not exceed two hours, after the expiration of which overtime rates shall apply to the whole shift.
(3) Subject to the provisions of the Mines Regulation Act Regulations 1976, no employees covered by this Award shall by collective action be a party to any ban on overtime.
(4) Overtime on shift work shall be based on the rate payable for the shift worked.
(5) In the calculation of overtime rates, each day shall stand alone. Provided that, when an employee continues working beyond midnight on any day, the hours worked after midnight shall be counted as part of the previous day's work for the purpose of calculating the rates to be paid.
(6) When an employee is required to hold himself/herself in readiness for a call to work after ordinary hours, such employee shall be paid at ordinary rates for the time such employee so holds himself/herself in readiness.
(7) (a) When an employee is recalled to work overtime after leaving the employer's business premises (whether notified before or after leaving such premises), that employee shall be paid for at least four hours at overtime rates; provided that, except in the case of unforeseen circumstances arising, an employee shall not be required to work the full four hours if the job for which that employee was recalled is completed within a shorter period but if such employee is subsequently recalled to work within the period of four hours for which payment has been made, an additional payment shall not be made nor shall any extra overtime be paid in respect of any period covered by such minimum payment.
(b) This subclause shall not apply in cases when it is customary for an employee to return to the employer's premises to perform a specific job outside that employee's ordinary working hours or where the overtime is continuous (subject to any reasonable meal break which may be allowed) with the completion or commencement of ordinary working time.
(8) An employee shall not be compelled to work for more than five and one half hours during ordinary or overtime hours or both without a break of the customary period for a crib.
