Common use of Additional Travel Clause in Contracts

Additional Travel. 22.1 This clause applies to an employee who is required to use his or her private motor vehicle while relieving or performing special duties or attending a course, seminar or similar, or otherwise required to work away from their normal place of work. 22.2 If these circumstances require travel to a location which is a greater distance than the distance the employee would travel from their home to their normal place of work, the employee will receive the allowance in clause 13.10 of the Award for the additional distance travelled. 22.3 Such travel will take place during the employee’s ordinary rostered hours of work if it is practicable to do so. If it is not practicable, the employee may travel outside their ordinary hours, and will be compensated by the provision of time-off-in-lieu (TOIL) on a time for time basis, whether the travel is in the employee’s or the employer’s vehicle. 22.4 Where an employee incurs additional travel expenses beyond the excess travel expressed above when working away from their normal place of work, they will be reimbursed the cost of such expenses. Expenses may include but are not limited to toll charges and car parking.
