33.7 Any overtime payable under this award must be paid in addition to payment for ordinary hours to which an employee is entitled pursuant to this award.

33.8 The basis for calculating overtime rates to be paid under this award for full-time and part-time employees shall be the appropriate weekly rate prescribed by clause 19 - Wages of this award, divided by 38 and rounded off to the nearest cent, then multiplied by the appropriate penalty.

33.9 The basis for calculating overtime rates to be paid under this award for casual employees shall be the appropriate weekly rate prescribed by clause 19 - Wages of this award, as divided by 38 and increased by 20%. The result shall then be rounded off to the nearest cent then multiplied by the appropriate penalty.

33.10 Where an employer and an employee mutually agree in writing, the employee may be allowed time off in lieu of payment for overtime. Such time off in lieu of payment for overtime may be accumulated and taken off work at a mutually agreed time. Time off work in lieu of payment for overtime must be taken at a time when the employee would otherwise be obliged to work. An employee taking time off work in lieu of payment for overtime must be permitted to take that time off work without loss of pay for the ordinary hours that the employee would otherwise be obliged to work but for the operation of this provision. In taking time off in lieu of payment for overtime, the employee must be permitted to be absent from work for the number of hours for which the employee would otherwise have been entitled to be paid for the overtime worked.
