Ordinary Time is the default Pay Rate assigned to all Payees, used to pay their Ordinary Hours. If the Payee is Casual, this Pay Type is used in conjunction with Casual Loading (OTE).

- Clerks - Private Sector Award 2020 [MA000002]. A Level 1—Year 1 Adult Payee is entitled to be paid $22.67 per hour if they are classified as Full Time for their ordinary hours worked between 7.00 am and 7.00 pm on Monday to Friday.
