flag The Fair Work Commission is considering a proposal to classify sleepover shifts as breaks for care workers.

flag The Fair Work Commission is hearing a proposal from the Australian Industry Group (AIG) to classify sleepover shifts for care workers as breaks between shifts. flag This change could allow workers to be scheduled for up to 28 hours without overtime pay. flag Unions oppose the proposal, arguing it jeopardizes client safety and worker wellbeing, as sleepovers are not true breaks. flag AIG contends the current guidelines are unclear and that the proposal would not lead to longer working hours or fatigue.
