Common use of Scheduled RDOs on Designated Long Weekends Clause in Contracts

Scheduled RDOs on Designated Long Weekends. It is recognised that there is merit in programming no work on the RDOs adjacent to public holiday weekends during the working year. This will allow Employees to have quality paid family leisure time. A Designated Long Weekend (DLW) is a weekend where an RDO below falls adjacent to (either before or after) a public holiday. Where work is required on RDOs which falls on a DLW, the Procedure will be followed, and agreement must be reached between the Employer and a majority of affected Employees. An Employee required to work, in addition to accrued entitlements, will be paid as if they were undertaking Public Holiday Work in accordance with clause 36.10 of this Agreement, for each weekend day, the public holiday and the RDO. All Employees who work on the Scheduled RDO will be granted an alternative RDO to another day falling within six weeks of the originally scheduled day provided that the re-scheduled RDO is to be taken on a day or days adjacent to a weekend or in conjunction with annual leave, or as otherwise agreed between the Employer and the majority of its affected Employee/s, such agreement shall not to be unreasonably withheld.
