Upon production of the necessary paperwork, an employer must reimburse the costs outlayed by an employee in certain circumstances concerning:

• Cost of Work Diary (sub-clause 14.2(a)).
• Articles of clothing – uniforms, protective clothing (sub-clause 14.2(b)).
• Housing (sub-clause 14.2(d))

Any employee required by the employer to live at a depot, yard or garage must be paid an allowance equal to the amount of the rental charged by the employer for the accommodation at the depot, yard or garage.

If an employer provides housing accommodation for an employee and the employee’s family, and requires the employee to live there and charges rent, the employer must pay the employee an allowance of $2.76 less than the amount of rent charged by the employer for the accommodation. This would mean that the net rental cost would be $2.76 per rental period.

• Training - sub-clause 14.2(e) provides that in after consultation and in specified   circumstances the employer may be required to reimburse an employee for training costs including:
  • Paid training leave, fees and books and travel costs exceeding those normally incurred in getting to work
