Thread: Got to love RDOs

jik2

RDO = Rostered Day off.

I work 9 day fortnights instead of 10 , work 8 hours 10 minutes a day but only get paid for 7 hours and 20 minutes , at the end of fortnight my employer adds the money that I didnot get paid for and gives it to me as a Day off, it's no money out of their pocket and I get a Day to do nothing.

I'm about to start a State Government job that is a 72.5hr fortnight. I don't know if they have flexi, RDOs or nothing at all yet.

Thats a 9 day fortnight, we work the same every second weekend is a long one and if it is already a long weekend then it's a 4 day weekend

and we can bank ours to give an extra couple of days or weeks annual leave or work them at the appropriate O/T rates

this is one of the joys of coming under the electricity distribution EBA

If your working 72.5 your working a 36 hour week so its not flexi

You probably get 2 RDO per month but wont be paid for overtime till you either work more than 8 hours per day or 40 in week as your ord time is being banked for the RDO till then. If your not getting an RDO then overtime is payable for working after 7.2 hour per day, 36 hours per week or 72 hours per fortnight

Flexi time is where you work additional hours over 38 hours don't get paid overtime (uness directed to work overtime by supervisor) but you can bank the hours and take them at later date.
