Standard rate is TSO Level 1 (annual / 52.1666).

Single fully-flexible classification stream — 8 Aluminium Worker grades, standard rate Grade 4.

Two-sector award (operational vs clerical) covering paramedics, attendants, CTOs, comms call-takers, mechanics, fleet maintenance, and admin officer Bands 1–4. Penalty arithmetic is unusual — a separate 75% Sat/Sun loading on top of the standard 25% casual loading, a 300% rate for the 13th+ consecutive shift without a 24-hour break, and an 8-hour rest period rather than the NES default 10.

Two-sector award (general vs exhibition) with sector-scoped penalties — general sector treats Saturday as ordinary hours, exhibition has its own loading-inclusive rates and a different overtime regime. Both sectors have full classifications, allowances, penalties, apprentice rates (4-year + adult, with pre/post 2014 and Y12 splits) and junior rates wired to the resolver.

Three-sector award — vet surgeons, support staff (vet nurses, kennel hands, animal attendants), and inspectors (RSPCA, council, etc.) — with completely different rate structures, penalty regimes and overtime rules per stream. Vet surgeons are the trickiest case: their overtime is not a multiplier regime at all.
