Amusement, Events and Recreation Award
Two-sector award (general vs exhibition) with sector-scoped penalties - general sector treats Saturday as ordinary hours, exhibition has its own loading-inclusive rates and a different overtime regime. Both sectors have full classifications, allowances, penalties, apprentice rates (4-year + adult, with pre/post 2014 and Y12 splits) and junior rates wired to the resolver.
Fully built. Rates, allowances, penalties and any required apprentice / junior rates are all wired to the rate resolver and have been verified against the consolidated award text and the latest pay guide.
What's built
- All general-sector and exhibition-sector classifications + rates.
- Exhibition loading-inclusive rates per Schedule C - the all-purpose flexible/supervisory loadings (cl. 18.2(b)) are baked in, so the resolver doesn't double-count.
- Sector-scoped penalties - general sector public holiday is 2.5x (cl. 20.6(b)), exhibition is 2.0x (cl. 26.2).
- Saturday ordinary-rate rule for the general sector (cl. 13.5).
- Exhibition overtime triggers - >12-hour shift, >56-hour week, >76-hour two-week roster (cl. 20.7(a)).
- Apprentices: 4-year and adult, pre-2014 and post-2014, with Y12-completed split where the award differentiates.
- Junior rates.
Known limitations
- AwardShiftSetting doesn't yet have a sector dimension - exhibition-specific shift limits (12h shift / 56h week / 76h roster) are tracked via AwardConfiguration keys instead. Functionally identical, but a future schema change may move them onto AwardShiftSetting directly.
Setup & special instructions
- Each employee must be assigned a sector - general or exhibition - before pay run. The sector controls penalties, the overtime regime, and which allowance set applies.
- Exhibition employees use a different overtime model: shift-based (>12h), weekly-based (>56h) and roster-based (>76h per fortnight) - NOT the standard daily 38-hour-a-week trigger.
- Saturday is paid at ordinary rate for general-sector employees - no penalty applies (this is correct per cl. 13.5).
