The employer may deduct for meals and/or accommodation it provides, but not unreasonably, and not from an employee under 18 without written parent or guardian agreement. Meal deductions are allowed only where the employee does not live in employer accommodation, the meal is provided in normal working hours, and the employee was told the amount and consented. Accommodation (with or without meals) deductions for adults and for juniors by age are capped at the amounts in Tables 15 and 16, and the meal-only deduction at the amount in clause 37.7, of the current award (consolidated to 1 July 2026, read 30 September 2026), adjusted with the standard rate.
