WORKPLACE RELATIONS ACT 1996 - SECT 179

Meaning of casual loading provisions

             (1)  For the purposes of this Division, casual loading provisions , of a pre‑reform wage instrument or an APCS, are provisions of the instrument or APCS that determine a casual loading payable to an employee, or an employee of a particular classification, in addition to a basic periodic rate of pay.

             (2)  The means by which such provisions may determine a casual loading include the following, or any combination of any of the following:

                     (a)  direct specification of the loading;

                     (b)  identification of the loading by reference to other provisions (whether or not of the same instrument or APCS);

                     (c)  direct specification, or identification by reference to other provisions (whether or not of the same instrument or APCS), of a method for calculating the loading.

             (3)  Subject to the regulations, a method referred to in subsection (2) may provide for a person or body to determine a loading in a particular way. For the purposes of this Division, a loading determined by the person or body in that way is taken to be a loading determined by the provisions that specify or identify the method.
