Where an employee is required to work overtime for more than one hour immediately before or after the employee's fixed or recognised working hours they are to be provided a meal or an allowance ($9.60)

• Calculations for overtime payments are on the base rate (x overtime factor eg. 1.5 = 1.5789);• Normal meal times are 7.00am - 8.00am, 12.00pm - 2.00pm & 5.30pm - 7.00pm each day;• For FPO2s receiving the Special Flexibility Allowance, this rate buys out the first two hours of overtime penalties in any one pay period

▪ A Special Flexibility Allowance will be paid to non shift work Station Officers working in certain roles. This allowance will be paid at the rate of 2.5% calculated on the base rate of pay for all hours worked. This rate will buy out the first two hours of overtime penalties in any one pay period. If more than two hours overtime is worked payment will be made as per Clause 6.2.1 of the Award (i.e. time and a half for the first 3 hours on any one day and double timethereafter). However, as per Clause 5.4.5 of the EPA when recalled to work overtime shifts that form part of a continuous shift roster, day workers will receive overtime penalties.
