Averaging of hours of work under awards or agreements An award or agreement may allow for the averaging of hours of work over a period of time that is greater than a week. The average weekly hours over the period must not exceed the following, unless those additional hours are considered reasonable:

  •  for a full-time employee, 38 hours (unless their award or enterprise agreement specifies different hours) or
  •  for an employee other than a full-time employee, the lesser of:
  • -38 hours
  • -the employee's agreed ordinary hours of work in a week. An award or enterprise agreement can provide for average weekly hours that are greater than the hours above if those additional hours are considered reasonable.
