17.5 Subject to clause 17.5.1 an employer may require an employee to work reasonable overtime at overtime rates.

17.5.1(c) the needs of the workplace or enterprise;
17.5.1(d) the notice (if any) given by the employer of the overtime and by the employee of his or her intention to refuse it; and

17.7 For such additional shift the employee shall be paid for a minimum of six hours for day or night work.

In the event of an employee being required to start work before the employee's normal starting time or to continue work after the employee's normal finishing time the time worked before the employee's normal starting time or after the employee's normal finishing time shall be overtime and be paid for as such and shall in no way be considered as an additional shift.

Provided that ``call'' time shall not apply in the case of an employee on annual, sick or long service leave or on lieu days providing the employee is given at least 24 hours' notice that the employee is required to work an additional shift or to come on prestart overtime on his next shift.
