Where an employer

  • engages 20 employees or less or operates 15 vehicles or less at a particular yard, depot or garage; or
  • has entered into arrangements with a client for transport services over each of 5 days Monday to Friday and where such arrangments would be prejudiced by RDO arrangments; or
  • has operations of a kind that it is necessary for particular employees to work each of 5 days per week Monday to Friday;

it may choose to operate on the basis that its employees ordinary hours of work are 7 hours per day over 5 days Monday to Friday inclusive, in which case RDO arrangements do not apply (sub-clause 23.5(b)).
