Overtime and Penalty rates Overtime is the time worked in excess of the standard working day or week. Penalty rates may be paid when for dangerous situations, overtime, weekend or public holidays (depending on the award). The two most common rates of overtime pay are: Time-and-a-half = Double-time = 1.5 × normal hourly rate 2 × normal hourly rate

Bonus and leave loading A bonus is paid in addition to normal income, eg for reaching a target. Annual leave loading is normally paid at the rate of 17½% on 4 weeks normal pay. Awards with more than 4 weeks holidays still only get 4 weeks loading. The leave can often be taken at any time during the year. Holiday pay (or annual leave loading) first started with miners who lost money by going on holidays as they did not get their underground allowances paid during holiday periods. Today most full time awards have holiday pay.

Rhiannon earns a salary of $ a)What is her weekly pay rate? b)How much loading does she get for a 4 week holiday? c)How much pay does she get for a 4 week holiday? a) $ ÷ 52 =$1250 $875 c) (1250 × 4) =$5 875 Example 3 b) 0  175 × 1250 × 4 =

Example ÷ 52 = 807  69 × 0  175 = 807   35 = 3 × 949  04 = Or ÷ 52 = 3 × 807  69 × 1  175 = Karen earns $ p.a. If she takes 3 weeks holiday leave, how much does she get paid? Note that the 2 amounts are different. WHY? This is because in step 2 of the first method, the answer was rounded off to 2DP, whereas in the second method the unrounded number was used. 807    04 $2847   69 $2847  11
