You can be rostered to a maximum of 9 hours on any day. However, one day per week, your boss can roster you for a 10.5-hour day and a second 10.5-hour day can be rostered on the same week but only if it’s mutually agreed between you and your boss and in writing.
Rosters have to include the following information:
If your boss proposes to change your regular roster or ordinary hours of work, the employer must consult with you about the proposed change.
If you’re part-time your boss may alter your roster so long as they provide you with at least 7 days’ notice in writing. In emergencies, your boss can give you 48 hours’ notice.
But it’s important to note that if your roster is altered, the number of hours worked must not be changed. Rosters cannot be changed from week to week or fortnight to fortnight in this manner.
