FAIR WORK REGULATIONS 2009 - REG 2.14

Limitations on fixed term contracts--high income threshold exception

  (1)   For the purposes of subsection   333F(2) of the Act, the high income threshold for that year for an employee (the engaged employee ) mentioned in paragraph   333F(2)(a) or (b) of the Act is taken to be the amount worked out under subregulation (2).

  (2)   The amount is to be worked out as follows:

  (a)   begin with the number of hours that, under the terms of the contract mentioned in subsection   333F(2) of the Act, the engaged employee is required to work in that year;

  (b)   divide that number of hours by the number of hours that a full - time employee would work in that year (rounding to 3 decimal places, and rounding up if the fourth decimal place is 5 or more);

  (c)   multiply the result of paragraph   (b) by the high income threshold, for the financial year in which the contract is entered into, worked out under regulation   2.13.

  (3)   A number of hours referred to in paragraph   (2)(a) or (b) may include a part of an hour.

  (4)   For the purposes of paragraph   (2)(b), assume the number of hours that a full - time employee would work is:

  (a)   if an enterprise agreement or a modern award applies to the engaged employee at the time the contract is entered into--the number of hours that a full - time employee is required to work under the enterprise agreement or modern award; or

  (b)   if paragraph   (a) does not apply--the number of hours of work of any other full - time employees of the employer employed in the same position as (or in a position that is comparable to) the position of the engaged employee; or

  (c)   if the number of hours cannot be worked out under paragraph   (a) or (b)--38 hours per week.
