18. EMERGENCY WORK

18.1 Where an employee is called to work to meet an emergency at a time when they would not ordinarily have been at work, and no notice of such call was given to them prior to their ceasing work on ordinary hours, he/she will be paid for such emergency work at the rate of double time. The time for which payment will be made will include time necessarily spent in travelling to and from work. The minimum payment under this clause will be three hours at double time.

18.2 A manager may decide, for health reasons, that an employee who has undertaken emergency work is to be relieved from working his/her next ordinary rostered work period, without deduction from salary. Such period of relief will neither exceed the number of hours of emergency work nor extend into a second ordinary rostered work period.

18.3 This clause will not apply to an employee whose work for the day is varied by alteration of the commencement of the scheduled ordinary rostered hours to meet an emergency.
