WORKPLACE RELATIONS ACT 1996 - SECT 918

             (1)  The employer of a school‑based trainee may, with the written agreement of the school‑based trainee, pay the school‑based trainee a loading in lieu of paid annual leave, paid sick leave, paid personal leave and payment for public holidays.

             (2)  The loading is payable for all hours worked on‑the‑job and is calculated using the formula:

where:

"hourly rate" means the hourly rate paid to the school-based trainee apart from this section.

Note:          The loading does not compensate for work done on a public holiday. A school‑based trainee who works on a public holiday would be paid the applicable hourly rate for such work.

             (3)  This section has effect as if it were a provision of the Australian Fair Pay and Conditions Standard.
