here is a riddle for you...as a casual employee under a casual eba you are terminated at the end of each duty . that is, not employed until invited back by your employer.....under contract b eba you can be made not required to attend work because you as a casual are not needed......if you want to try to work you can make your self available on a non paid 24 hour call out....to comply with qantas and casa you can not drink etc....if you are called for a duty you can not decline the duty.....if you whilst on the 24 hour non paid call out which you cant decline a duty on and cant drink on well rested etc,you wish to take your self off the available status ,qantas will not allow you to take your self off this status without 48 hours notice.....my question is at that time you have changed your mind is it legal to have this conditional detention for 48 hours with no pay at all????..............if while covered by an eba provision as a casual whilst not being paid is this legal??? any ideas by clued up ppruners would be great cause many contract b folk have been made not required for 30% or so of this month whilst contract c racks up the hours and new hire of cantract c is still in swing.......thought casual was seasonal only???????? thanks gigs
