Frequently asked questions
- Are public holidays counted toward the weekly maximum? Public holidays sit outside ordinary hours unless your instrument says otherwise; check award/EA terms.
- Can my employer change my roster to meet averages? Changes should comply with any consultation and notice rules in an award/EA/contract.
- Do I get overtime on a loaded salary? Only if your contract or instrument says so; some salaries absorb overtime/penalties up to a limit.
General information, not legal advice. Maximum hours, averaging and overtime depend on your award, enterprise agreement, contract and circumstances.
