A “seasonal worker” shall be defined as a Trades and Services Staff member whose terms of engagement are variable in accordance with the seasonal work requirements of the University. |
| 61.2 |
MES seasonal workers shall receive a loading equivalent to 4% (or 8% if employed prior to 25 November 1997) of the ordinary rate of pay for their classification, except where a higher penalty rate or loading is prescribed herein. |
| 61.3 |
A seasonal staff member will be rostered for a minimum of three hours on any single engagement, except for students of the University who may be rostered for one hour engagements, provided a minimum of three are rostered during any pay period and provided further that the student is already on campus. |
| 61.4 |
There will be no minimum number of engagements per week and the number of engagements may vary between rosters. |
| 61.5 |
Periods or roster cycles during which a seasonal worker is not engaged will not count as service for any purpose, but neither will they act to interrupt the continuity of service with the University where such period is twelve months or less. |
| 61.6 |
A seasonal Trades and Services Staff member may be offered additional hours during the period of a roster (ie. Monday - Friday). Such work will be paid at the normal seasonal work rate provided it does not lead to a seasonal Trades and Services Staff member exceeding 76 hours during the currency of any roster. |
| 61.7 |
Work performed in excess of 76 hours during the currency of any roster shall attract the appropriate overtime rate except that overtime worked from Monday to Friday will be paid at the rate of time-and-a-half for the first three hours, double-time thereafter. |
