Duty Hours The following limits on requirements to undertake duty apply for full-time kaimahi (see clause 2.4.1 for part time kaimahi).
TRAVELLING TIME 9.01 When the Employer requires an employee to travel for the purpose of performing duties the employee shall be compensated in the following manner: (a) on a normal working day on which an employee travels but does not work, the employee shall receive regular pay for the day. (b) on a normal working day on which an employee travels and works, the employee shall be paid: (i) regular pay for the day for a combined period of travel and work not exceeding seven and one-half (7 ½) hours, (ii) at the applicable overtime rate for additional travel time in excess of a seven and one-half (7 ½) hour period of work and travel, with a maximum payment for such additional travel time not to exceed twelve (12) hours pay in any day, calculated at the straight-time rate. (c) on a day of rest or on a designated paid holiday, the employee shall be paid at the applicable overtime rate for hours travelled to a maximum payment of twelve (12) hours pay, calculated at the straight-time rate. 9.02 For the purpose of clause 9.01, the travelling time for which an employee shall be compensated is as follows: (a) for travel by public transportation, the time between the scheduled time of departure and the time of arrival at a destination, including the normal travel time to the point of departure, as determined by the Employer; (b) for travel by private means of transportation, the normal time as determined by the Employer, to proceed from the employee’s place of residence or work place, as applicable, direct to the destination and, upon return, direct back to the employee’s residence or work place; (c) in the event that an alternate time of departure and/or means of travel is requested by the employee, the Employer may authorize such alternate arrangements in which case compensation for travelling time shall not exceed that which would have been payable under the Employer’s original determination. Such request shall not be unreasonably denied; (d) when an employee travels through more than one (1) time zone, computation will be made as if the employee had remained in the time zone of the point of origin for continuous travel and in the time zone of each point of overnight stay after the first day of travel. 9.03 All calculations for travelling time shall be based on each completed period of fifteen (15) minutes. 9.04 Travelling time shall include time necessarily spent at each stop-over en route provided that such stop-over does not include an overnight stay. 9.05 Compensation under this Article shall not be paid for travel time to courses, training sessions, conferences and seminars unless so provided for in Article 18 (Career Development and Training).
