Common use of Wet Weather Clause in Contracts

Wet Weather. During periods of wet weather that prevents work from being performed on site, the Employer, where practical, will transfer employees to an alternative site not so affected, or to the Employer's depot/yard to perform maintenance, service-type duties or training. Where this is not practical, all full-time employees shall be entitled to payment by the Employer for ordinary time lost through wet weather and the effects of wet weather for up to 40 hours in each calendar month (non-cumulative). This payment is subject to the employee remaining on site in readiness to work. Seven hours after the cessation of work from wet weather, the Employer’s site management may release employees for the remainder of the day, if information indicates rain will continue. Where an employee is requested by the Employer to work in the rain at a time when others performing the same or similar work have been allowed to cease work, due to wet weather, then that employee shall be entitled to be paid double time for the hours of work performed in the wet. However, where an employee choses to continue to work in the rain when they have been authorised to cease work due to wet weather they shall be paid at the ordinary time rate of pay. The additional payment shall not apply to employees working in dry situations; this includes those working on plant with a weatherproof cabin and/or those who are working undercover. All employees working in dry situation shall continue to work the normal Project hours. The number of hours credited to any employee under this Clause shall be reduced by the number of hours for which payment is made in respect of lost time through wet weather. An employee who commences during a calendar month will be credited with pro rata amount based on the balance of the calendar month to be worked
