Broken Work Allowance. (a) The Department agrees to pay a broken work allowance (as per the Award) payable on an “exception” basis to Cleaners employed after 1993, whilst continuing to pay the allowance as an “all purpose” payment arrangement for Cleaners employed prior to November 1993. (b) For Cleaners employed after November 1993: (i) The payment will be paid continuously during school contact days except when Cleaners take any type of leave, in which case the Department will recoup overpayments where the paid leave cannot be appropriately adjusted in advance; and (ii) Payment of the broken work allowance “by exception” to Cleaners employed after November 1993 means that it will not be applied to full labour on-costs such as Superannuation and Annual Leave loading, nor will it be applied to any non-working periods such as Public Holidays, Paid Leave, or the taking of ADO days. (c) All Cleaners will be able to voluntarily perform continuous work on Student Free Days subject to the maintenance of safe working practices and individual Cleaner’s work-life balance considerations. Where Cleaners voluntarily perform continuous work on Student Free Days, the broken work allowance is not payable, unless the Cleaner receives an all-purpose allowance. Cleaners shall consult with the Principal one month in advance to confirm their choice and identify if work can be undertaken.
