All casuals
Sat/Sun same rate

So if you work all week Sat and Sun is penalty rates, if you only work Sat, Sun it is normal time? Interesting there is a guy that runs a coffee shop on Mandurah Terrace, i'll have a chat with him. ?
If it's true, it blows my idea of only working two days a week. When the missus was nursing, she only worked Sat, Sun so I could babysit, worked out great same money as Mon to Fri. ?

As I understand it for retail Sat and Sun are penalty rates regardless of hours worked during the week.

Sunday used to be higher but was brought back to the Saturday rate.

That's what I thought, but Humid and IFocus keep saying that penalty rates have been removed. Like I said I have a coffee most days at a couple of coffee shops, I'm sure they will know, especially the pommie guy he even hates the coffee ute being over the road at the markets on the weekend, so he will definitely know. ?

The way I understand is casuals get offered shifts and what day it is sets the rate!

I thought you said it was a flat rate?
All casuals Sat/Sun flat rate.
That would suggest, same rate as the rest of the week.

There are exceptions and this is where it gets complex. You can agree to smooth it out and pay a flat rate all week for as long as the overall pay is the same as if the penalties were paid.

Simple example: $20 per hour - Thursday to Monday shift 7.6 hours a day.

Sat and Sun might be $30 an hour (150% penalty rate)

So total weekly pay would be $912 and an average of around $24 an hour.

You can agree to pay the $24 on Sat and Sun as long as it's paid everyday. The idea being that each day costs the same and the shop can open on weekends.

That's just a rough example.... the issue is wayyyyy too many companies (unknowingly or otherwise) were paying the $24 an hour to casuals who work on Sat, Sun and maybe only one other day... so they're underpaid based on the award and fail the BOOT test.

What Fairwork should have done is put up an online calculator for all the different awards and we wouldn't have all this underpaying of staff.

Can't follow what you're saying there.
Is Sat and Sun the same rate as Mon to Fri or different?

I'm not sure the penalty rates have been removed, there are lots of cafe's shut on Sunday's in Mandurah, next time I'm in for a coffee I will ask about penalty rates.

Penalty rates - Fair Work Ombudsman

Penalty rates are a higher pay rate that can apply when an employee works evenings, weekends or public holidays. These rates are provided in awards and registered agreements.

There Boss. From posts #3,218 and #3,219 on previous page.
It would indicate casuals don't get penalty rates for Sat/Sun.
But it could be due to your way of abbreviating everything, to the point of it not making any sense.

That looks as though they get penalties for weekends and casuals are on more than permanent staff.

Where I worked we were on an annualised salary 25 years ago, day/night, Sat, Sun, Chrismas Day, Easter, didn't make any difference same pay rate.

We got rid of Sunday penalties, when everyone stopped going to listen to Margaret Court, in the Pulpit on Sunday's. ?

I reckon we should knock back McStalin's g2g, to get back from his court case.

That'd be funny
