Thanks to our colleagues at ASIAL, they advise - The Fair Work Commission has handed down its decision in the 4 yearly review of modern awards entitled "Security Services Industry Award 2010 [2018] FWCFB 6755"

The decision deals with:

The definition of Relieving Officer - ‘relieving officer means an employee who, by agreement between the employer and employee, is appointed by the employer for the purpose of relieving another security officer’                        

Meal Breaks - Except where it is operationally impracticable, an employee will be granted an unpaid meal break of not less than 30 minutes where a shift exceeds five hours duration. For the purpose of this subclause it will be operationally impractical to grant an unpaid meal break unless the employee is permitted to leave the client’s premises or be unavailable for work during the period of the meal break.’
