Award Transport or Fares Allowance (Private Purposes) (S&W)

🎯 If you are unsure if this Pay Type applies to your circumstances, please refer to the Payee's Employment Contract or obtain advice from the Australian Taxation Office or Fair Work Ombudsman.

Award Transport or Fares Allowance (Private Purposes) (S&W) applies when the Payee is entitled to an allowance for the private use of their private vehicle or fees for private/public transport, where there is no evidence of traceability between the current Award/industrial instrument the Payee is employed under to a historical award/industrial instrument that was in force on 29 October 1986.

For example, under the;

Electrical, Electronic and Communications Contracting Award 2020 [MA000025]. Where a Payee is required to use their private vehicle when they are recalled to work overtime after leaving their Payer's business.
Hospitality Industry (General) Award 2020 [MA000009]. Where a full-time or part-time Payee is required to work at a place that is more than 80 kilometres from their usual place of work. The Payer will pay an amount equal to the cost of fares reasonably spent by the Payee on fares to travel from the usual place of work to the new place of work.

Payments with this Pay Type use the $ (or % of Rate Per Hour) set within the Pay Type, and Leave Entitlements are not applicable. These payments are included in W1 (Total of Salary, Wages & other payments) and Taxable; however, they are not OTE (SGAA).
