Where an employee is directed to work outside the bandwidth, the employee will be entitled to an eight (8) hour break plus reasonable travelling time before commencing work again, and the employee’s manager should direct the employee to take a break of eight (8) hours. If the break occurs during standard working hours, then the employee will receive their normal salary during that period. 25.15.

Where a break as described in subclause 25.14 above is not possible due to operational requirements, the employee will be paid for subsequent periods of work at the applicable overtime rate until the employee has taken an eight (8) hour break. 25.17. An employee cannot claim flex or TOIL and also receive an extra duty payment in respect of the same hours. 25.18.

Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency – Enterprise Agreement 2011-14 PART D – LEAVE 26. General conditions 26.1. DCCEE provides access to a flexible range of options for paid and unpaid absences from work that assists employees to balance work with other personal priorities. 26.2. Where an employee has had a formal application for leave rejected, the Secretary will advise the employee of the reason(s) for the decision in writing, including reasons relating to operational requirements. The manager, the employee and, where the employee requests, a support person will meet to consider alternative arrangements if required. 26.3. All accrued leave entitlements will be expressed and deducted in hours and minutes. 26.4. Where an employee is absent on compensation leave, a manager is required to consult with the Rehabilitation Case Manager prior to approval of applications for other forms of leave. 26.5. An employee, who is absent on a day or part-day that is a public holiday in the place where the employee is based for work purposes, is entitled to be paid for the part or full day absence as if that day or part-day was not a public holiday, except where that person would not normally have worked on that day. 26.6. Where a public holiday falls during a period when an employee is absent on leave (other than Annual or paid Personal/carers leave) there is no entitlement to receive payment as a public holiday. Payment for that day would be in accordance with the entitlement for that form of leave (e.g. if on long service leave on half pay, payment is on half pay). 26.7. The Department will not unreasonably cancel approved leave or recall employees to duty while on leave. In such circumstances the Secretary will approve reimbursement toward travel expenses, incidental expenses or family care costs. If an employee’s leave is cancelled without reasonable notice the employee will be recredited with the amount of leave cancelled. If an employee is recalled to duty the employee will be recredited with a period equivalent to the ordinary hours worked. 26.8. An employee who is ill or injured for one day or longer while on annual leave or long service leave and who produces satisfactory medical certificate may apply for personal/carer’s leave and have their annual or long service leave recredited. 27.
