Unless your EBA states otherwise, the current superannuation rate is 9.5% of your “ordinary time earnings”.  This means the income earned Monday to Friday including daily travel allowance but without all overtime earnings (See Clause 32 of the BCGOA)

You can contact CBUS on 1300 361 784 for further information.

You work 8 hours a day for 5 days (Monday to Friday) which totals 40 hours but get paid 38 hours (7.6 hours per day).  The other 2 hours accrue towards an RDO.  When you take an RDO you are paid 7.6 hours from your accrued hours, that way you receive 38 hours pay each week.  RDO hours are also accrued on all paid leave.

All RDO’s are shown on our wage sheets.

A worker other than a casual, is entitled not to work on a public holiday without deduction of ordinary pay.  If you agree to work on a public holiday you are entitled to be paid at the rate of double time and a half for all hours worked.  If you work on a public holiday, superannuation is payable on the 7.6 hours worked.

Unless your EBA states otherwise, under the modern awards sick leave is referred to as personal leave.  Personal leave hours accrue on a weekly basis and after working continuously with a company for 12 months you would have accrued 10 personal leave days.

Annual leave hours accrues on a weekly basis and after working continuously with the company for 12 months, you will have accrued 4 weeks (20 days) annual leave.  Accrued annual leave and annual leave loading are also payable on lawful termination.
