The personal circumstances <strong>of</strong> an Employee will be taken into account when<br />

determining <strong>the</strong>ir participation on <strong>the</strong> restrictive duty roster.<br />

The Employee's roster <strong>and</strong> any overtime worked is to be considered when determining<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir participation on <strong>the</strong> restrictive duty roster.<br />

The frequency <strong>of</strong> Employee participation <strong>and</strong> call-backs is to be recorded to assist in<br />

planning <strong>the</strong> restrictive duty roster.<br />

Consideration is to be given to <strong>the</strong> intensity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> work to be carried out when<br />

determining an acceptable frequency <strong>of</strong> restrictive duty.<br />

As a guide, <strong>the</strong> Department will strive to ensure Employees are not rostered on-call for<br />

more than 5 consecutive days.<br />

Managers should consult with Employees as to any onerous restrictive duties that are<br />

required in order to provide relief in such situations.<br />

An Employee concerned with <strong>the</strong> amount <strong>and</strong> frequency <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir participation in <strong>the</strong><br />

restrictive duty roster should raise <strong>the</strong> matter with <strong>the</strong>ir manager in <strong>the</strong> first instance. If<br />

unable to be resolved at this level <strong>the</strong> Employee(s) or nominated representative may<br />

seek <strong>the</strong> assistance <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Department Human Resource/Industrial Relations Section in<br />

resolving <strong>the</strong> matter.<br />
