Leisure Days and Public Holidays Calendar
RDO Calendar
Use the links provided on the left to view a calendar of
Rostered Days Off (including Award RDOs) and Leisure Days for NSW.
Hours of Work & RDOs
The building unions have campaigned since their
formation not just for better wages, but equally
importantly for reduced hours of work.
The building industry is
physically arduous and excessive hours of work damage
worker health and family and community life.
36 hour week accruals
Employees accrue 0.8 of an hour’s pay (48
minutes) for each day Monday to Friday worked or paid
leave i.e. sick leave, holiday leave, public holidays
etc. Employees do not accrue time while on an RDO. This
accrual will be used for payment of RDOs and No Work
Saturdays. Accruals to a maximum of 14.4 hours can be
paid on “No Work Saturdays”.
The employer must pay
superannuation on the RDO accruals and the fares
allowance paid on these "No Work Saturdays". The CFMEU
Wage Claims Department has received advice from the
Australian Taxation Office supporting such payment.
Termination of
employment
Upon termination, the Company is required to
pay Employees all unused RDO accruals.
Commencing employment
When commencing employment Employees may not
have enough RDO accruals to obtain full payment for the
next No Work paid Saturday therefore only partial
payment may be made from accruals.
No Work Saturday
On this calendar we have made provision for No
Work paid RDO Saturdays which are the Saturdays
coinciding with public holiday long weekends. Employees
shall use their RDO accruals to a maximum of 14.4 hours
pay on a No Work RDO Saturday.
Paid RDO (fixed)
The (6) RDOs adjacent to public holidays are
fixed i.e. there is a prohibition on work.
Paid RDO (flexible)
Employees may accrue these RDOs and take the
RDO off when it is more convenient. These RDOs are not
adjacent to the public holiday long weekends.
