Hi Nicole,
In regards to your questions:
"What do you mean by this? I cant make sense of it... "All paid time worked is counted..."
Yes, so I am paid for the hours I work...(is this what you mean?) but is a compulsory meeting always meant to be paid?"
Basically if a staff meeting is conducted outside of your normal working hours then you need to be paid either overtime or time in lieu.
So since you worked your 8 hours for the day and you came back for the meeting which is beyond your typical daily working hours...you should be paid overtime.
For your reference:family practice center
I read the Fairwork Award and it said we have up to 2 hours of after-hours work to attend things like parent-teacher meetings etc a month UNPAID(!!!???). That can't be right, right? Like if I am working, I am getting paid. Thats the exchange.
So, if this is true, if my company only holds a meeting every fortnight, and it runs for 2 hours each time... are they within their rights to only pay me 2 hours of the 4, to make up the 2 hours I apparently should donate each month?
I'm quite familiar with the Children's Service Award however I have never read that information before. Can you please tell me where you read that?
Thanks!
