Reasonable Additional Hours 72.1 Subject to subclause 72.2, an Employer may require an Employee to work reasonable additional hours at the appropriate overtime rate as defined in clause 69(Overtime) of the Agreement. 72.2 An Employee may refuse to work overtime in circumstances where the working of such overtime would result in the Employee working hours which are unreasonable having regard to: (a) any risk to Employee health and safety arising from the additional hours; (b) the Employee's personal circumstances, including family responsibilities; (c) the needs of the workplace or enterprise in which the Employee is employed; (d) whether the Employee is entitled to receive overtime payments, penalty rates or other compensation for, or a level of remuneration that reflects an expectation of, working additional hours (e) the notice (if any) given by the Employer of the overtime and by the Employee of his or her intention to refuse it; (f) the usual patterns of work in the industry, or the part of the industry, in which the Employee works; (g) the nature of the Employee’s role, and the Employee’s level of responsibility; (h) whether the additional hours are in accordance with an averaging arrangement agreed to by the Employer and Employee under clause 59 (Hours of Work); and (i) any other relevant matter.
Additional Hours Employees who are required to work additional hours beyond their working week are entitled to receive enhancements on the following basis: Monday to Saturday Time and a half Sundays and Public and Extra Statutory holidays Double time (min 2 hours) (Part-time employees are entitled to these enhancements only at times and in circumstances in which full-time employees in the establishment would qualify. Otherwise a full working week for full-time employees shall be worked by a part-time employee before these enhancements apply).
Reasonable Suspicion Testing All Employees Performing Safety-Sensitive Functions A. Reasonable suspicion testing for alcohol or controlled substances may be directed by the Employer for any employee performing safety-sensitive functions when there is reason to suspect that alcohol or controlled substance use may be adversely affecting the employee’s job performance or that the employee may present a danger to the physical safety of the employee or another. B. Specific objective grounds must be stated in writing that support the reasonable suspicion. Examples of specific objective grounds include but are not limited to: 1. Physical symptoms consistent with alcohol and/or controlled substance use; 2. Evidence or observation of alcohol or controlled substance use, possession, sale, or delivery; or 3. The occurrence of an accident(s) where a trained manager, supervisor or lead worker suspects alcohol or other controlled substance use may have been a factor.
