Overtime is potentially payable when:

  • you remain on duty after your tour of duty ends,
  • when you are recalled between two tours of duty, or
  • you are required to begin earlier than the rostered time without due notice and on a day when you have already completed your normal daily period of duty.

Planned Overtime

When you are informed prior to the commencement of your duty that you will be required to remain on duty after the tour ends this is classed as planned overtime. This will be paid at the appropriate rate.

Casual Overtime

Where you are not informed at the commencement of your tour of duty that you will be required to remain on duty after the tour of duty ends then, on the first four occasions, in any week, the first 30 minutes of any overtime worked is to be disregarded.
