Work on Scheduled RDOs Circumstances (a) Work may take place on a scheduled RDO by agreement between the Parties to this Agreement or on any substituted day where it is required by the Employer and such work is necessary to meet operational requirements, manage its business and/or improve productivity subject to the below procedure.

(i) to allow other Employees to be employed productively, to carry out out-of-hours maintenance; or
(ii) because of unforeseen delays to a particular Project or a section of it; or
(iii) for other reasons arising from unforeseen or emergency circumstances on a Project. For the avoidance of doubt, unforeseen or emergency circumstances include, but are not limited to: excessive periods of Inclement Weather, matters not necessarily the fault of the Employer which has led to the Project being delayed or behind schedule, the requirement to meet the Employer’s work program and unexpected delays in the Project due to scheduling of other works or supply of materials, or work that cannot be performed on other days because of municipal council restrictions, or other relevant laws or regulations. Such requirement must be based on genuine circumstances.
(c) Where the Employer requires work to be performed on a Scheduled RDO (or any substituted day) because of the existence of any of the above, it will:

Wherever possible, the process outlined above will occur at least nine (9) calendar days prior to the RDO in question. An Employee may refuse to work on a scheduled RDO (or any substituted day) if the requirement to do so is plainly unreasonable having regard to:
(i) the hours of work that will be worked by that Employee in the week of the scheduled RDO;
(ii) the number of scheduled RDOs worked by the Employee within the previous six weeks;
(iii) the Employee’s family responsibilities; and
(iv) any other special circumstances peculiar to the Employee.
