Common use of Travel time allowance Clause in Contracts

Travel time allowance. (i) Where community care employees are rostered to work with consecutive clients, they will be paid for the time taken to travel between locations at the rate of 3% of the ordinary pay per hour per kilometre travelled, excluding travel from the Employee’s home to the first place of work and return to home at the cessation of duties; provided that this payment will not be made if the Employee is being paid at the hourly rate of pay for the time between consecutive clients. An Employee who is paid the hourly rate of pay for time travelled between consecutive clients will not then be paid the travel time allowance if the overall salary of the Employee provides a less advantageous outcome. (ii) Where subclause (i) above applies, the Employee will accrue towards leave entitlements for time taken to travel between locations, excluding travel from the Employee’s home to the first place of work and return to home at the cessation of duties, up to the maximum entitlement for a full-time Employee.
