CASUAL WORKERS' OVERTIME UPDATED

The Fair Work Commission has issued its final determination on overtime for casual workers in its four-yearly review of awards.

Under this determination, the overtime clause for casuals has been varied in 97 modern awards. As a result, the way that overtime for casuals is calculated might change.

Any changes to overtime calculations for casuals will come into effect from the first full pay period on or after 20 November for 96 of the affected awards.

Changes to the remaining award (Aged Care Award 2010) will not come into effect until 1 March.

Under these clauses, overtime for casuals may be calculated in one of the following ways:

  • In substitution for casual loading
  • In addition to casual loading (cumulative approach), and
  • In addition to the sum of an employee's minimum hourly rate plus casual loading (compounding approach).
