I'm not sure that that's quite accurate, but I will continue. Under proposed section 135A(1)(b), could common award provisions like annualised wage arrangements or time off in lieu be prohibited unless they guarantee that no employee is ever financially worse off under the strict penalty and overtime rates? I will be clear here: so that no employee is ever financially worse off.
