Elwyn Morey Centre School Term Break Arrangements (Trades and Services CRCCM Enterprise Agreement 2005)

79. Elwyn Morey Centre School Term Break Arrangements

79.1 During the 6 weeks of school term breaks each year between the end of Term 1 and the commencement of Term 4, a Program Assistant of the University’s Elwyn Morey Centre will either:

1. take paid time off as accrued during the 42 weeks of school term;
2. be stood down; or
3. work his/her ordinary weekly hours of work to perform duties consistent with the staff member’s classification, experience and training, which may include assistance with a school holiday program.

Provided that other arrangements may apply where agreed in writing between the University and the staff member, with a copy provided to the staff member and a copy placed on his/her personnel file.

79.2 Trades and Services Staff who take paid time off as accrued during the 42 weeks of school term will be required to work additional hours each week at the rate of 14.3% of their ordinary weekly hours of work. The duties directed to be performed whilst working additional hours will be consistent with the classification, experience, and training of staff and may include working with children, preparation of materials, administration, and non-industrial cleaning.

Where the paid time taken off by a Trades and Services Staff member exceeds the time accrued as at his/her date of termination of employment, the University shall be entitled to deduct the amount of such excess from any remuneration payable to the Trades and Services Staff member upon termination of employment. Where the paid time taken off by a Trades and Services Staff member is less than the time accrued as at his/her date of termination of employment, the University shall make payment in lieu of the excess accrual to the Trades and Services Staff member upon termination of employment.

79.3 Trades and Services Staff who are stood down during school term breaks and do not take paid leave will receive no pay during the period of stand down. Provided that Trades and Services Staff salaries may be annualised and paid over the entirety of the year (including school term breaks), if agreed by the University.
