🎯 If you are unsure if this Pay Type applies to your circumstances, please refer to the Payee's Employment Contract or obtain advice from either the Australian Taxation Office or Fair Work Ombudsman.
Travel (Ordinary Time) is applicable when a Payee must travel for distance work during their Ordinary Working Hours.
For example, under the Restaurant Industry Award 2020 [MA000119]. The Employer must pay the Payee who works away from the Employer's workplace at their minimum hourly rate for time spent travelling both ways between the employee’s residence and their place of work.
Travel (Ordinary Time) uses the Rate Per Hour set in the Payee Master File (100.00%) and Leave Entitlements are applicable, provided the rules have been configured. Payments with this pay type are considered to be W1 (Total of Salary, Wages & other payments), Taxable and Ordinary Time Earnings (OTE).
