4.9.1 Any employee who is required to perform the full range of duties of a position carrying a higher salary than the employee's normal classification for a period of five consecutive working days or more will be paid at the higher salary for the whole of such period.
4.9.2 Despite the requirement detailed in 4.9.1, a Registered nurse (levels 1 or 2) who is temporarily appointed to a registered nurse (level 3) position at Royal Adelaide Hospital, North Western Adelaide Health Service (The Queen Elizabeth Hospital site), or the Flinders Medical Centre on night duty, will be paid at the salary applicable to the registered nurse (level 3) classification for the whole of such period.
4.9.3 Where an employee is paid a higher salary in accordance with 4.9.1 or 4.9.2 of this Award, that higher salary is to apply for the purpose of calculating overtime and shift penalties. Where an employee works at a higher level immediately prior to taking annual leave and will return to work at the higher level upon expiration of the leave, then the higher salary applies for the purpose of calculating payment for such leave.
