Schads Awards - Travelling between Shifts
A broken shift is the best way to keep expenses low and get control of your overhead. Different types of allowances are introduced for each scenario of the broken shifts. Employees working for:
-
A two-period broken shift must be paid at 1.7% of the standard rate.
-
A three-period broken shift must be paid at 2.25% of the standard rate.
Changes in Broken shifts in the Social & Community Services Award are implemented from 1st July 2022.
