Weekend penalty rates for casuals in the Nursery Award

When casuals work ordinary hours on Saturday or Sunday, they get paid:

  • the applicable weekend penalty rate:
    • 125% penalty rate for Saturday work
    • 200% penalty rate for Sunday work
  • a 25% casual loading.

The weekend penalty rate and casual loading are both calculated on the casual's ordinary hourly rate.
