PART 4 – SCHOOL OFFICERS: SALARIES AND SPECIFIC CONDITIONS OF SERVICE

 

 

36.    HOURS OF WORK

36.1    A full-time School Officer is one whose ordinary hours of work are 38 in any one week.

36.2    A part-time School Officer is one whose ordinary hours of work are less than 38 hours in that school, not being a Casual School Officer.

36.3    A School Officer may, at the discretion of the Principal, be directed, among other things, to attend staff meetings, interviews and parent-teacher nights, provided that if the weekly hours for which one is employed are exceeded, then clause 34.6 of this Agreement shall apply.

36.4    School Officers shall be entitled to an unpaid meal break of at least 30 minutes.  This meal break will be taken at a mutually convenient time provided that no more than five continuous hours are worked prior to the meal break.  School Officers shall be entitled to school recesses without deduction of pay where these fall within the hours of the School Officer's employment.  The timing of such recesses can be varied by mutual agreement.

36.5    Hours of work shall be between 8.00 a.m. and 6.00 p.m. of a week day except  by mutual agreement.

36.6    Employees subject to clause 36 may elect, with the consent of their Employer, to work "make-up time", under which the Employee takes time off during working hours and works those hours at a later time, during the spread of ordinary hours provided in this Agreement.

36.7    Variation of hours

An Employer cannot vary the hours of a part-time School Officer unless:

36.7.1    the School Officer consents; or

36.7.2    it can be demonstrated that such a variation is required as a result of a change in program, organisation, structure, technology or funding. In this case, seven weeks notice in writing shall be given by the Employer.  In the absence of the required notice and provided that the change involves a drop in salary, the School Officer’s salary will be maintained at its former level for the period of the notice not given.
