Common use of Weekly rest Clause in Contracts

Weekly rest. An employee must be given no less than 36 hours of continuous leave in each seven-day period. The local agreement specifies the day on which the weekly rest is to be taken and the conditions under which it can be moved. Weekly rest may be scheduled on a day of the week other than that specified in the local agreement in the event of illness and other circumstances beyond the control of the employer. When weekly rest occurs on a public holiday or the day before a public holiday, the employer may postpone the day of weekly rest to the next weekday or another day by local agreement. Weekly rest may be withdrawn temporarily due to illness or other circumstances beyond the control of the employer. Weekly rest that is withdrawn is replaced by two days of annual leave in connection with ordinary annual leave or by individual agreement. Otherwise, annual leave is paid in cash. A local agreement may be made on the right to withdraw weekly rest. Compensation is paid according to paragraph three. For employees with a 6-day week, the weekly rest is on Monday if no local agreement is made or, if notice is given at least 5 weeks in advance, on the Sunday before or after. Notice includes the performance schedule. The parties agree that the exception in Section 14 of ATL means that, by way of exception, an employee may start work on the day after the weekly rest day in ordinary working hours under this Agreement, even if this restricts the weekly rest. In this case, compensation is paid according to sub-clause 3.8.4 b. Days off under sub-clause 3.2.2 may not replace ordinary weekly rest unless the day off coincides with an ordinary weekly rest day under a local agreement.
