Australia Electrical, Electronic and Communications Contracting Award 2020 (MA000025) 31.5: 31.5 Allow a paid job search day each week of redundancy notice

After giving notice of termination for redundancy, the employer must allow the employee up to one day off without loss of pay in each week of the s 117(3) minimum notice period to seek other work. If more than one day is taken, the employer may ask for proof of attendance at an interview, and a statutory declaration is enough; an employee who fails to provide it when asked is not paid for the time off. This replaces the clause 30.2 entitlement.
