Maritime Offshore Oil and Gas Award
Industry award covering 60+ classifications across 8 vessel-type schedules (Facilities, Support Div 1/2, Supply, Stand-by-utility, Self-propelled drilling, Seismic survey, NW shelf coastal). Distinctive features: 8 vessel schedules with same role names but different rates (D1); aggregate annual salary = min salary + OT component (D2); 1.153 leave factor combines all NES leave types into a single multiplier (D3); 84/105-day max accrual (D4); swing-off-day extra pay (D5); 18h continuous duty + 10h rest (D6); $167,749 death-accident insurance + 65% personal illness insurance (D7); FT/Relief-only - no PT or casual (D8). All 60+ classification rates, all aggregate breakdowns, all 12 allowances cross-checked line-by-line - zero drift on any figure.
Fully built. Rates, allowances, penalties and any required apprentice / junior rates are all wired to the rate resolver and have been verified against the consolidated award text and the latest pay guide.
Official Fair Work rates. This award’s minimum pay rates are synced directly from the Fair Work Commission’s Modern Awards Pay Database and updated automatically when the Commission changes them - including the annual wage review - so payroll always uses the current legal minimums without a manual update.
What's built
- 60+ classifications across 8 vessel schedules with same role names at different rates (D1).
- Aggregate annual salary = minimum salary + overtime component (D2).
- 1.153 leave factor combining all NES leave types into a single multiplier (D3).
- 84/105-day max leave accrual cap (D4) - substitute for the typical 8-week excessive-direction provision (cl 19 has NO excessive-direction provisions).
- Swing-off-day extra pay (D5).
- 18h continuous duty + 10h rest period rule (D6) - `min_rest_period_hours=10` fires ONLY after 18h continuous duty, not as a generic shift-to-shift rule.
- $167,749 death-accident insurance + 65% personal illness insurance (D7).
- FT and Relief employment ONLY - no part-time or casual (D8).
- Cl 11A right to disconnect, cl 24A workplace delegates, cl 5.11(b) IFA pre-Dec-2013 split.
- Cl 28 employee-to-employer notice 1/2/3/4 weeks + 1-week max deduction (≥18). Award is SILENT on job search (cl 28 + cl 29) - `termination_job_search_award_silent=true`.
- 12 allowances + 6 leave entitlements + ~110 configuration entries.
Known limitations
- 1.153 leave factor (D3) is fully-absorbed - resolver must NOT apply additional NES leave entitlements on top.
- Cl 11.2(b) 10-hour rest fires ONLY after 18h continuous duty - NOT generic. `min_rest_period_trigger_clause=11.2(b)` ensures correct gating.
- Award is SILENT on job-search entitlements (cl 28 + cl 29). Resolver must NOT apply generic 1-day-per-week rule.
- No PT or casual employment - only FT and Relief (D8).
