How is RDO calculated?
The RDO accrual will need to be calculated on an hourly basis. In our example the employee works 40 hours in the week, is paid 37.5 hours and accumulates 2.5 hours of RDO. Therefore, for every hour worked the employee accumulates 2.5/40.0 = 0.06250 RDO hours.
What is RDO time off?
A rostered day off (RDO) is a day in a roster period that an employee doesn’t have to work.
Is RDO the same as annual leave?
Leave accrues on OTE (Ordinary Time Earnings) paid, so if 40 hours annual leave are paid, 2 hours are still banked as RDO, so annual leave accrues on 38. If the employee takes 4 weeks annual leave that would made up of 19 days annual leave and 1 day RDO as the employee would bank 8 hours during those 4 weeks.
Do you accrue RDO on RDO?
You work 8 hours a day for 5 days (Monday to Friday) which totals 40 hours but get paid 38 hours (7.6 hours per day). The other 2 hours accrue towards an RDO. When you take an RDO you are paid 7.6 hours from your accrued hours, that way you receive 38 hours pay each week. RDO hours are also accrued on all paid leave.
