More than 3 years, but not more than 5 years 3 weeks continuous service

More than 5 years continuous service 4 weeks

The relevant notice period increases by 1 week if the employee is over 45 years old and has completed at least 2 years' continuous service with the Employer.

Subject to the requirements of the Act, the Employer may, in its discretion, make payment in lieu of notice to the employee of some or all of the notice period.

16.2 Notice of termination by an employee

The notice of termination required to be given by a Level 2 weekly employee is 1 week. The notice of termination required to be given by a Level 3 or 4 weekly employee is the same as that required of an Employer except that there is no requirement on the employee to give additional notice based on the age of the employee concerned. If an employee fails to give the required notice, the Employer may withhold any monies due to the employee on termination under this Agreement or the NES, an amount not exceeding the amount the employee would have been paid under this Agreement in respect of the period of notice required by this clause less any period of notice actually given by the employee.

Where an Employer has provided payment in lieu of notice to an employee, for all or any of the minimum period of notice, the Employer will still count the notice period for the purposes of calculating any service related entitlement of the employee arising under this Agreement (including but not limited to entitlements arising under applicable long service leave legislation).

16.3 Job search entitlement

17.1

Where an Employer has given notice of termination to a weekly employee, an employee must be allowed up to one day's time off without loss of pay for the purpose of seeking other employment.

17.1.1 However, if an employee based in Queensland would receive a higher redundancy payment under the Quick Service Food Outlets Award - State 2004 (if that Award, but for any enterprise agreement, would have applied if the employee had been employed at 31 December 2009), the employee will receive a redundancy payment in accordance with the redundancy scale in that Award.

17.2 Notice in circumstances of redundancy

Employees based in South Australia, Northern Territory, Australian Capital Territory and Victoria, whose employment is terminated on the ground of redundancy because of the introduction or proposed introduction by the Employer of automation or other like technological changes in the industry, will be given 3 months notice of termination. In all other circumstances, notice of termination will be as provided for in clause 16.

17.3 Transfer to lower paid duties

Where an employee is transferred to lower paid duties by reason of redundancy, the same period of notice must be given as the employee would have been entitled to if the employment had been terminated and the Employer may, at the Employer's option, make payment instead of an amount equal to the difference between the employee's former weekly wage and the employee's new weekly wagfl for the number of weeks of notice still owing.

17.4 Employees leaving during notice period

An employee given notice of termination in circumstances of redundancy may terminate their employment during the period of notice. The employee is entitled to receive the benefits and payments they would have received under this clause had they remained in employment until the expiry of the notice, but is not entitled to payment instead of notice.

17.5 Job search entitlement

23 Superannuation

"Superannuation Fund" means Retail Employees Superannuation Trust (REST) (provided that it offers a MySuper product) or the fund referred to in 23.1.1 or 23.1.2.

23.1 Superannuation Legislation

Superannuation legislation, including the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992 (Cth), the Superannuation Guarantee Charge Act 1992 (Cth), the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (Cth) and the Superannuation (Resolution of Complaints) Act 1993 (Cth) ("Superannuation legislation"), deals with the superannuation rights and obligations of the Employer and employees.

23.1.1 Level 4 employees may choose their own superannuation fund, in accordance with Superannuation legislation. If an employee does not choose a superannuation fund, superannuation contributions shall be paid into REST.

23.1.2 Employees, as at date of lodgement of this Agreement, who have contributions made to a superannuation fund other than REST, subject to that fund being a complying fund, can continue to have their contributions made to that fund. An employee can elect to change their fund to REST.

23.1.3 The rights and obligations in these clauses supplement those in Superannuation legislation.

23.2 Employer contributions

The Employer must make contributions to REST except in the case of 23.1.1 or 23.1.2. An Employer must, each month in the case of payments to REST and each month or no later than quarterly in the case of any other fund according to the deed of the fund, make such superannuation contributions to the superannuation fund for the benefit of an employee as will avoid the Employer being required to pay the superannuation guarantee charge under Superannuation legislation with respect to that employee.

23.3 Voluntary employee contributions

23.4

23.3.1 Subject to the governing rules of the superannuation fund, an employee may, in writing, authorise their Employer to pay on behalf of the employee a specified amount from the post-taxation wages of the employee into the same superannuation fund as the Employer makes the superannuation contributions provided for in clause 23.1.

23.3.2 An employee may adjust the amount the employee has authorised their Employer to pay from the wages of the employee from the first of the month following the giving of three months' written notice to their Employer.

23.3.3 The Employer must pay the amount authorised under this sub clause no later than 28 days after the end of the month in which the deduction authorised under this sub clause was made.

Absence from work

Subject to the governing rules of the superannuation fund, the Employer must also make the superannuation contributions provided for in clause 23.2 and pay the amount authorised under clause 23.3:

23.4.1 Paid leave-while the employee is on any paid leave.
