Part Three - Employment Conditions

23. Overtime and shift work

23.1 General application of overtime
‘Overtime’ is work which is performed at the direction of the supervisor and which is in excess of the ordinary number of hours of work as defined in 21.1 and/or required to be worked outside the span of hours as defined in 21.2. Overtime payments will be subject to the prerequisites of S3.1.

23.2 Requirement to work overtime
A staff member may be required to work reasonable overtime.   However, where a staff member has personal commitments or personal circumstances arise, and where the nature of those commitments or circumstances are such that it would be unreasonable for the University to prevent the staff member from attending to them, the staff member may refuse to work outside his or her span of hours.

23.3 General application of shift work
A shift worker is a staff member who is required by the University to work on a regularly rostered basis outside the normal span of hours.

23.4 Annualised allowances for overtime and shift work flexibility
The annualised overtime and shift allowances referred to in S3.3.1 and S3.3.2 respectively are designed to create administrative ease for the University and certainty for the staff member.
