Pay periods and roster cycles in the Pharmacy Award

A full-time employee’s hours of work can be rostered to be an average of:

  • 38 hours per week, or
  • 76 hours over two weeks.

A roster cycle generally coincides with the pay period. However, a workplace can roster fortnightly and pay weekly.

Full-time employees

When a workplace rosters fortnightly but pays weekly, a full-time employee gets paid at least their 38 ordinary hours in the first pay period, regardless of the actual number of hours worked.

Wage related allowances in the Marine Tourism Award

The Marine Tourism Award has two wage-related allowances, the Marine Engine Driver (MED) Certificate allowance and the outer reef work allowance. Use our Pay and Conditions Tool to calculate the amounts of these allowances.

MED Certificate allowance

If an employee who isn't employed as a MED is required to have a MED certificate II or III, they get an allowance. The MED Certificate allowance is paid for each day they’re on a voyage, charter or tour.
