Where an employee is absent from duty without authorisation, the employee will lose pay (as per clause 20.6 of the LDO Award) calculated as follows
- for each day absent, a day’s pay - calculated by dividing the average weekly wage by 5;
- for part of a day absent, pay for each hour calculated by dividing the average weekly wage rate by 38 (sub-clause 20.6).
Where an employee absent from duty without authorisation, and one or more scheduled RDOs occur, the employee must take the day or days off as rostered but must be paid for that week the wage as provided, less an amount calculated according to the following formula:
|
No. of days absent during period
x 0.39 hours
|
x
|
Average fortnightly pay (76 hours)
|
Note: an absence of less than 0.5 of a day will not be counted.
