Context
This chunk is part of the "Better off overall test" section in the "Legal requirements" chapter of the best practice guide on individual flexibility arrangements (IFAs). It outlines key questions that employers should consider when assessing whether an employee will be better off overall under a proposed IFA compared to their existing award or registered agreement entitlements.
Text Content
- Who initiated the request?
- What entitlements are being changed? (For example, hours, overtime, penalty rates, etc.)
- What is the value of these entitlements under the award or registered agreement?
- Does changing the employee's span of hours change their penalty rates?
- Is the employee better off financially? (For example, will they receive more on a flat rate of pay under the IFA than they would as separate entitlements under their award or registered agreement?)
- Are there any situations where the employee wouldn't be financially better off? (such as a roster cycle or after a certain amount of overtime.)
- Are there any other circumstances or characteristics unique to the employee that should be considered? (For example, factors such as the employee's family commitments, their health, whether they have a second job, study or other interests.)
- Who initiated the request for changes to the entitlements?
- What specific entitlements are being modified in this request?
- How is the value of these entitlements determined under the award or registered agreement?
- Will changing the employee's span of hours affect their penalty rates?
- In what ways might the employee be financially better off under the IFA compared to their current entitlements?
- Can you identify any scenarios where the employee might not be financially better off after the changes?
- What unique circumstances related to the employee should be taken into account when considering these changes?
- How might family commitments influence the employee's financial situation regarding the new entitlements?
- What role does the employee's health play in assessing the impact of the entitlement changes?
- How could having a second job affect the employee's overall financial benefit from the proposed changes?
