Essentials Guide
Pay & Payroll
Pay Stub Basics
A 12-hour shift is generally treated as 11 worked hours plus 1 paid lunch hour. You are still paid for lunch because you must remain available for calls, but shift diffs and premiums do not apply to that lunch hour.
Pay Increases
Pay steps are based on hours worked. Use ePeople to check your current step and how many hours remain before your next increase.
Schedule Periods
On the schedule, the shifts between the blue lines represent a pay period. The shifts between the black lines are working sets
Overtime
Overtime is based on averaging across set periods. You need over 28 shifts across 4 pay periods. The only exception is working more then 8 (so 9 or more) shifts in a single pay period. OT is paid at 2x base pay per hour (not including shift differentials/premiums)
IE: Working many shifts in a row does not mean overtime unless one of these threshold are met.
Shift Differential
Days: no premium
Evenings: 1500-2300 (+2.75)
Nights: 2300-0700 (+5.00)
Weekends: Friday at 1500 to Monday 0700 (+3.25)
Only applies when actually working. Vacation, sick time, personal leave, and banked time do not receive shift differential.
Stat Holidays
Stat days are paid at an increased rate, not including shift differential. Full-time meambers get 7.75 hours banked every STAT day even if not worked that STAT, both full-time and casual meambers are paid out if the STAT is worked.
STAT rate is 1.5x per hour, Super STAT (Christmas Day and the August Civic Holiday) is 2x per hour
Benefits & Leave (Full Time Only)
Vacation Time
Vacation is advanced so staff can use time before earning the full yearly amount. ePeople may show a negative balance early on. Vacation is earned gradually as you work.
Personal Leave
Personal leave can be used when something comes up and you need time away from work. It is counts only as 7 hours, but commonly topped up with vacation or banked stat time to cover a full shift.
Bereavement Leave
Bereavement leave may be available when an close family member passes away. Confirm eligibility and length with your manager.
Sick Time
