Domestic Travel Allowance (> ATO Measure) (S&W & OTE)

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

Domestic Travel Allowance (> ATO Measure) (S&W & OTE) applies when the Payee is entitled to an allowance for their accommodation, meals and incidentals when travelling domestically, where the Payee sleeps away from home for business purposes, which is more than the ATO Measure. However, the Payer has deemed the amount payable not fully expended (the amount of money provided to cover the expense has not been completely spent).

For example, under the;

Aircraft Cabin Crew Award [MA000047]. If the Payee must arrange and pay for their own accommodation and meals, they will be paid $137.56.
Electrical, Electronic, and Communications Contracting Award 2020 [MA000025]. The employer must provide reasonable board and lodging or pay a living-away allowance of $536.49 per week for distant work.

Payments with this Allowance 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) Taxable and OTE (SGAA).
