Common use of Change of roster Clause in Contracts

Change of roster. 16.4.1 Shift workers should normally be given at least five (5) days’ notice of a change of shift or a change of roster. Where this is not possible the employee will be paid double time for the first shift after the change. 16.4.2 Where an employee is given less than five (5) days’ notice of a change of shift or roster and the change results in the employee working additional shifts, then the employee shall be allowed an equal amount of time off at a mutually agreed time. If it is not practical for the employee to be allowed time off within four (4) weeks, the employee shall be paid for the extra shifts at double time. 16.4.3 The provisions in 16.4.1 and 16.4.2 above do not apply to employees who are classified as relief shift workers.
