Assessment 2: Part B
a. An employee is entitled to a minimum of 6 hours and a maximum of 11 and half hours per day. Based on the roster; Mark, Tom, Daren and Scot are
rostered to work on Sunday alongside Sam. They are therefore not available as Sam’s replacement. The remaining staff are Jordan, Shelly and
Margaret. Jordan has already had 4 consecutive days on work. Margaret worked Saturday while Shelly did not. Hence, Shelly is the staff member
available to cover Sam’s sunday shift.
Shelly entitlements:

Number of hours worked Hourly Rate Wage Sunday Penalty (175%) Gross Pay

c. If a casual employee is hired to replace Sam, his/her pay would be $ 323.2 which is $60.16 more than Sam’s pay for Sunday. This means that an
excess of $60 will be catered into the weekly budget. With Sam on the shift, the total weekly budget is $7,789 and a casual employee will take this
amount up to 7849 increasing the difference to $650.
d. Based on the findings, the cheapest option would be to contact Shelly to cover the Sunday shift. The penalty rate for her would be 25% lower than
that of a casual employee. In addition, since she has had a break on Saturday, is more likely to be fit to work on Sunday. Shelly is on the same grade
as Sam, hence she has the required skills and experience to complete his jobs efficiently. Hiring a casual employee would mean qualifications but the
employee would need to be mentored to understand the business requirement making managers lose essential work time. I believe Shelly is the most
suitable choice.
The standard wage for employees who are 21 yr old and over is $18.29 per hour or $694.90 per week for full and part time workers, $22.86 an hour (this
includes a casual loading of 25%) for casual workers
Overtime wages on Monday to Friday is 150% of their normal rate of pay for the first 2 hours of overtime; and twice their normal rate for the rest of
overtime. Between midnight Friday and midnight Sunday: twice their normal rate of pay for any work done.
Other penalty rates include Monday to Friday - 7:00 pm to midnight- 10% of the standard hourly rate. Monday to Friday - midnight to 7:00 am - 15% of the
standard hourly rate
