That's why they need penalty rates.
Â
Without question. They are paid at a premium rate.
That's why they don't need penalty rates.
Â
How many CEO's work every Saturday and Sunday for $25 a hour do we think?
Edit > LOL
Â
Â
You just don't get it do you?
Â
If an employer wants people to work on a Sunday - say and no one wants to do it for the money they offer - they don't get workers on Sunday.
Â
If they offer you more then you may reconsider your rejection of their offer.
Â
 I worked for years in a shift environment with 24/7 coverage.
Â
That mean't I got paid the same rate regardless of nite, day, Saturday, Christmas day, etc.
Â
But I was happy because I was paid a very significant salary, whether I was sick or well, on holiday or not.
Â
If I had been asked to work on an award with penalty rates my take home pay woud have been some 30% lower.
Â
Hello why would I want to do that?
Â
Penalty rates are an obsolete system for paying more than the normal hourly rate to reflect onerous conditions - OK - but if you are paid way more than an award would give including penalty rates - why would you be interested?Â
