4. Calculation of Wages

 

4.1 Any calculation of wages, or deduction from wages, must be based on the hourly rate of pay. Any fraction of a cent after completing the calculation must be adjusted to the nearest cent.

 

4.2 A basic hourly rate means, in the case of monthly-paid employees, the basic monthly wage divided by the hours for the applicable shift pattern. In the case of weekly-paid employees, the basic hourly rate is calculated by dividing the weekly wage by the number of ordinary hours worked in a week.

 

4.3 A basic daily wage is calculated by multiplying the hourly rate by the number of hours worked in an applicable shift.

 

4.4 A basic weekly wage or a basic monthly wage means the basic hourly wage multiplied by the ordinary hours worked in a week or in a month, whichever is applicable.

 

4.5 A basic monthly wage means the agreed basic monthly rate of pay.

 

4.6 Basic annual wage means the basic weekly rate of pay multiplied by 52 (fifty-two) or the monthly rate of pay multiplied by 12 (twelve).

 

4.7 Basic rate of pay means the agreed rate of pay excluding any allowances.

 

4.8 Total rate of pay means the basic weekly or basic monthly rate of pay (whichever is applicable) plus allowances.
