Overseas Accommodation Allowance (Private Purposes) (S&W)

🎯 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.

Overseas Accommodation Allowance (Private Purposes) (S&W) applies when the Payee is entitled to an allowance for meals and incidentals when travelling internationally for private purposes.

For example, under the;

Electrical, Electronic, and Communications Contracting Award 2020 [MA000025]. For all meals not included in the cost of fares or accommodation, an allowance of $16.41 per meal will be paid to the Payee for distant work.
Plumbing and Fire Sprinklers Award 2020 [MA000036]. For any meals incurred while travelling, the payee will receive an allowance of $14.08 per meal 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 considered W1 (Total of Salary, Wages & other payments) and Taxable; however, they are not OTE (SGAA).
