Scenario

You are a frontline manager with responsibility for managing the performance of a team of twelve people. Team members currently work four days per week. Eight members of the teamwork Monday to Friday. The other four members of the team each work two days during the week and Saturday and Sunday. These four people would normally be paid penalty rates for the hours worked on the weekend.

The organisation has now implemented a Workplace Agreement. The Workplace Agreement includes a pay rise for all members of the team; however, penalty rates will no longer be paid on weekends.

Other benefits for employees in the Workplace Agreement include improved access to training and education and a requirement that all job vacancies be filled by internal applicants wherever they have the necessary skills, knowledge, and experience.

Your manager has explained to you that the senior management team is committed to increasing the levels of multi-skilling amongst employees. You will need to consider that in financial terms there is no longer any benefit in working weekends.
