Double Time and Quarter is applicable when the Payee is entitled to loading on their standard rate of pay as they are required to work overtime or on a particular day of the year (such as a weekend).
For example, under the Sugar Industry Award 2020 [MA000087]. The Full Time or Part Time Payee is entitled to be paid 225.00% of their ordinary hourly rate for the time they work on a weekend.
Double Time and Quarter uses the Rate Per Hour set in the Payee Master File multiplied by 2.25 (225.00%) and Leave Entitlements are not applicable. Payments with this pay type are considered to be W1 (Total of Salary, Wages & other payments) and Taxable, however, they are not Ordinary Time Earnings (OTE).
