Part 2 General employment conditions and entitlements Division 1 Preliminary 156 Definitions for pt 2 In this part— EGTS award means the Electricity Generation Transmission and Supply Award—State. ESIE award means the Electricity Supply Industry Employees Award—State. industrial instrument means an industrial instrument under the Industrial Relations Act. relevant award see section 159. translation principles means part 3.2 of the document called ‘Implementation Guide for Award Restructuring in the 37 Chapter 7 (Industrial disputes), part 2 (Action for settling industrial disputes) of the Industrial Relations Act

s 157 98 Electricity Regulation 1994 s 160 Queensland Electricity Supply Industry’, issued by the former Queensland Electricity Commission on 21 November 1994. 38 Division 2 Award conditions and entitlements for electricity industry employees 157 Purpose of div 2 This division provides for the conditions and entitlements of employment for State electricity entities and their electricity industry employees by reference to an award under the Industrial Relations Act. 158 Application of div 2 to Ergon Energy Pty Ltd This division does not apply to the State electricity entity Ergon Energy Pty Ltd (ACN 078 875 902) and its electricity industry employees until 6 months after this section commences. 159 Relevant award (1) This section fixes the award (the relevant award ) that contains the conditions and entitlements for an electricity industry employee of a State electricity entity. (2) If the employee has, under the translation principles, chosen to be bound by the ESIE award, the ESIE award is the relevant award. (3) Otherwise, the EGTS award is the relevant award. 160 Relevant award is binding The relevant award for an electricity industry employee of a State electricity entity binds the entity and the employee. 38 ‘Implementation Guide for Award Restructuring in the Queensland Electricity Supply Industry’, part 3.2 (Translation principle) For where the principles may be inspected, see section 163 (State electricity entity must display translation principles).

s 161 99 Electricity Regulation 1994 s 164 161 Relevant award subject to Industrial Relations Act Subject to section 162, the Industrial Relations Act applies to the relevant award for an electricity industry employee of a State electricity entity as if the relevant award were an award under that Act that binds the entity and the employee. 39 Division 3 Miscellaneous 162 Chapter 7 prevails over industrial instruments If there is any inconsistency between this chapter and the relevant award or another industrial instrument that applies to electricity industry employees of State electricity entities, this chapter prevails to the extent of the inconsistency. 163 State electricity entity must display translation principles (1) This section applies to a workplace where a relevant award has application. 40 (2) A State electricity entity bound by the relevant award must display the translation principles in a conspicuous place at the workplace where they may easily be read by the entity’s electricity industry employees in the workplace. (3) However, a contravention of this section is not an offence. 164 Secondment does not affect employment in the GOE industry A person employed by a State electricity entity is taken, while performing duties on secondment to another entity, to continue to be employed by the State electricity entity. 39 The Industrial Relations Act provides for the making, amendment and repeal of awards and for their relationship with other types of industrial instruments. Generally, see chapters 5 (Awards) and 6 (Agreements), and also section 165 (Certified agreement’s effect on awards, agreements or orders) of that Act. 40 See also the Industrial Relations Act, section 697 (Copy of award and certified agreement to be displayed).

s 165 100 Electricity Regulation 1994 s 167 165 Continuous service If an employee works, takes authorised leave, or is paid for an absence under the Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003 for an injury sustained by the employee, a period when the employee is or would be rostered for work is a period of continuous service by the employee. Examples of continuous service — 1 A full-time employee has a fortnight of continuous service, even though a rostered day off is taken in the fortnight. 2 A part-time employee has a fortnight of continuous service if the employee works the days rostered for the employee in the fortnight. 166 Calculation at a proportionate rate for particular employee (1) If this chapter provides, for a part-time employee, a quantity or amount (the proportionate amount ) to be a proportion of another quantity or amount relating to a full-time employee (the regular amount ), the proportionate amount must be worked out as follows— regular amount x work hours 36.25 (2) In subsection (1)— work hours means the period (in hours and, if necessary, a fraction of an hour) for which the part-time employee is scheduled to work. Part 3 Transfer of employment within GOE industry 167 Application of pt 3 This part applies to a person who transfers employment within the GOE industry (the transferred employee ).

s 168 101 Electricity Regulation 1994 s 170 168 When there is transfer of employment within GOE industry (1) In this part, a person employed in the GOE industry transfers employment within the GOE industry if the person resigns from employment with a State electricity entity (the former employer ) to be employed by another State electricity entity (the new employer ). (2) For subsection (1), a person does not resign from employment with a State electricity entity if the person becomes a redundant employee for the entity. (3) The transfer is effective when the employee starts employment with the new employer (the transfer day ). 169 When employment with former employer and new employer is taken to be continuous service (1) This section applies if the transfer day is not more than 1 month after the transferred employee ends employment with the former employer. (2) To decide employment entitlements of the transferred employee as an employee of the new employer— (a) the employee’s continuous service in the GOE industry immediately before ending employment with the former employer is taken to be service continuous with service with the new employer from the transfer day; and (b) the employee’s leave entitlement is reduced by leave accrued (or a pro rata amount for leave not yet accrued) during the service and taken or paid for by an employer of the employee. 170 Transferred employee may elect for leave entitlement to become leave entitlement with new employer (1) This section applies if a transferred employee is entitled to payment by the former employer of an amount as cash equivalent for accrued leave (or a pro rata amount for leave not yet accrued). (2) Before the transfer day, the employee may, by written notice to the former employer, elect for payment not to be made to

s 171 102 Electricity Regulation 1994 s 172 the employee and, instead, an equivalent amount of leave to be treated as leave accrued by the employee as an employee of the new employer or, for the pro rata amount, as service with the new employer. (3) The election may be for all or part of the payment. (4) On the making of the election, the former employer must pay the amount stated in the notice not to the employee but to the new employer and give to the new employer a certificate of the amount of the leave, or service for which a pro rata amount would have been paid, to which the payment relates. (5) The new employer must treat the employee as having accrued the leave or, for the pro rata amount, having the service with the new employer. 171 Payment by former employer to new employer towards long service leave entitlements not accrued on transfer (1) This section applies if— (a) at the transfer day, the transferred employee did not have accrued long service leave entitlements; and (b) the employee later accrues a long service leave entitlement by counting service with the former employer as service with the new employer. (2) If asked by the new employer, the former employer must pay to the new employer an amount for the long service leave entitlements that would have accrued to the former employee because of the employee’s service with the former employer had there been no limit on the employee’s period of service before the leave entitlement accrued. (3) The amount is the amount the employee would have been paid by the former employer if the employee had, immediately before the transfer day, taken the proportion of the leave accrued relating to the service up to the transfer day. 172 Transferred employees not made redundant A transferred employee is not made redundant merely because of the transfer.

s 173 103 Electricity Regulation 1994 s 174 173 Particular new employers must pay superannuation into transferred employee’s existing scheme (1) This section applies if— (a) the new employer is a subsidiary of a GOC; and (b) immediately before the transfer day, the transferred employee was a member of a superannuation scheme (the employee’s existing scheme ). (2) However, this section does not apply if the transferred employee and new employer have entered into an agreement about the superannuation arrangements for the employee. (3) The new employer must ensure— (a) the transferred employee’s membership in the employee’s existing scheme is not affected; and (b) the superannuation contributions the employer is required to make for the employee are paid, for the benefit of the employee, into the employee’s existing scheme. Part 4 Recognition of previous service other than on transfer 174 Application of pt 4 (1) This part applies to a person who was formerly employed in the GOE industry or the Queensland electricity supply industry within the meaning of the repealed Electricity Act 1976 (the former employment ), and is later employed in the GOE industry (the new employment ), if the person— (a) had been compulsorily retired from the former employment because of ill health, or voluntarily finished employment because of ill health, and the former employer certifies accordingly; or (b) resigned the former employment within 3 months before starting the new employment; or

s 175 104 Electricity Regulation 1994 s 175 (c) is not a redundant employee. (2) For subsection (1)(b), an employee finishes employment on the day when all leave entitlements for which the employee was paid a cash equivalent on finishing the employment would have ended if the entitlements had been taken as leave. 175 Recognition of previous service (1) The new employer must recognise the period of service of the former employment in working out the period of service in the new employment. (2) An employer may recognise, or agree to recognise, previous service of an employee for leave or other purposes only if— (a) section 174 applies; or (b) the employer is satisfied special circumstances exist in the particular case. (3) Subsection (2) is subject to any Act, law or award binding on the employer providing for recognition of the previous service of the employee on conditions more favourable to the employee than the conditions in the subsection.

(4) In this section— appropriate doctor means a doctor who the employer is satisfied has the appropriate expertise to decide whether or not the person is able to continue in the person’s present employment. Subdivision 2 Service and continuity of service 177 Service recognised for long service leave purposes For this part, continuous service for a GOE industry employee means— (a) service that is actually continuous or taken to be continuous under section 169; and

s 178 106 Electricity Regulation 1994 s 178 (b) a period of former service that, under section 175, 41 is recognised for working out the period of service of the employee in the GOE industry; and (c) for an employee who became a GOE industry employee on 1 January 1995 because of the Government Owned Corporations (QGC Corporatisation) Regulation 1994 or the Government Owned Corporations (QTSC Corporatisation) Regulation 1994 under the GOC Act—previous service, including broken service, recognised as service for long service leave purposes under the repealed Electricity Act 1976 . 178 Casual employees (1) The service of a GOE industry employee with a State electricity entity (the employer ) who has been employed more than once by 1 or more State electricity entities over a period is continuous service with the employer even though— (a) the employment is broken; or (b) any of the employment is not full-time employment; or (c) the employee is employed by the entity or entities under 2 or more employment contracts; or (d) the employee would, apart from this section, be taken to be engaged in casual employment; or (e) the employee has engaged in other employment during the period.

s 181 108 Electricity Regulation 1994 s 182 (ii) if the employee’s employment is terminated—on the day the termination takes effect. (3) The minimum amount payable to a casual employee for long service leave is worked out using the formula— - a --- c -- t -- u ---- a --- l --- s -- e --- r -- v --- i -- c --- e - × - 1 --- 3 - × hourly rate 52 10 where— actual service means the total ordinary working hours actually worked by the employee during the employee’s period of continuous service. hourly rate means the hourly rate under subsection (2)(c). 181 Casual employees—conversion to full time equivalent (1) A State electricity entity may agree with a casual employee that the employees’s entitlement to long service leave may be taken in the form of its full-time equivalent. Example for subsection (1) — If a casual employee— (a) is entitled to be paid for 290 hours long service leave; and (b) works under an award that provides for a full-time working week of 36.25 ordinary working hours; the employee and the employer may agree that the employee takes 8 weeks leave (290 ÷ 36.25 = 8).
