Work on Scheduled RDOs Circumstances Clause Samples
The 'Work on Scheduled RDOs Circumstances' clause defines the conditions under which employees may be required to work on their rostered days off (RDOs). Typically, this clause outlines the specific situations or operational needs that justify asking staff to work on these otherwise non-working days, such as emergencies, peak workloads, or unforeseen absences. It may also detail any notice requirements or compensation entitlements for employees who are called in. The core function of this clause is to provide a clear framework for both employers and employees regarding when and how work on scheduled RDOs can occur, thereby ensuring fairness and minimizing disputes.
Work on Scheduled RDOs Circumstances. (a) Work may take place on a scheduled RDO by agreement between the Parties to this Agreement or on any substituted day where it is required by the Employer and such work is necessary to meet operational requirements, manage its business and/or improve productivity subject to the below procedure.
