Sammie is a full-time shiftworker at a loading dock. When Sammie was 15 weeks pregnant, her doctor advised that although she was fit for work, her current duties are a risk to her pregnancy. Sammie spoke to her employer about her situation. They agreed that she will work day shifts in the office until she takes parental leave. Even though Sammie performs lower paid duties in the office, she will get the same pay rate for the hours she works during the risk period. However, she won't get her shift loadings as she is no longer doing shiftwork. If there is no appropriate safe job available and the employee is entitled to unpaid parental leave, they are entitled to paid 'no safe job leave' for the risk period. They need to be paid at their base pay rate for ordinary hours of work during the risk period. If there is no appropriate safe job available and the employee isn't entitled to unpaid parental leave, they are entitled to unpaid 'no safe job leave' for the risk period. No safe job leave is paid at the base rate of pay for the employee's ordinary hours of work.
