Setup & special instructions
- There are NO junior rates in this award. Junior employees performing classification work are paid the adult rate for that classification.

- Non-continuous shiftworkers can have their ordinary hours averaged over 7 / 14 / 21 / 28 days; the 28-day form caps at 152 hours.
