26.4 Subject to 26.2, junior employees, casual employees, part-time employees, apprentices receiving less than adult rate and employees employed for less than a full week shall receive that proportion of the location allowance as equates with the proportion that their wage for ordinary hours that week is to the adult rate for the work performed.

26.7 For the purposes of this clause:

26.7.1 Dependant means:

26.7.1(a) a spouse or de facto spouse; or

26.7.2(b) a child where there is no spouse or de facto spouse,

who does not receive a district or location allowance.

26.7.2 Partial dependant means a dependant as prescribed in 26.7.1 who receives a district or location allowance which is less than the location allowance prescribed in 26.1.

26.8 Where an employee is employed in a town or location not specified in this clause the allowance payable for the purpose of 26.1 shall be such amount as may be agreed between Australian Mines and Metals Association, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Western Australia and the Trades and Labor Council of Western Australia or, failing such agreement, as may be determined by the Commission.
