Paragraph 6.1.5 This guarantee is subject to the following conditions
that throughout the normal working hours of the payweek the employee is available for work within the meaning of the following:—
Unless otherwise specifically instructed by the employer or his representatives each employee shall present himself for work each weekday at the usual starting time of the job or site and shall there remain available for work throughout the normal working hours. Decisions as to when, during the working hours, work is to be carried out, interrupted on account of weather conditions or otherwise and resumed, and as to whether some or all of the employees shall work at any particular time shall be made by the employer or his representative and shall be implicitly observed.
If, on the job or site, work is not available for an employee in his own occupation, he shall hold himself ready and willing to carry out reasonable alternative work at any other job or site where work is available.
In cases where abnormal weather conditions interrupt work over a period, suitable arrangements appropriate to the circumstances of each case, may be made by the employer by which employees shall established that they are available for the normal working hours of each day.
the guarantee does not apply to weeks of annual holiday under Section 12 of this Agreement.
the guarantee is reduced proportionately for any payweek in which:—
the employee is engaged after the commencement of the payweek.
the employee's employment terminates before the end of the payweek,
the employee is absent for part of the payweek due to certified sickness or injury, or
the employee is absent for one or more days of public holiday under Section 13 of this Agreement.
that where on a job or in a shop collective action is taken by any employees employed under this Agreement, the employer shall at all times use his best endeavours to provide continuity of work for those employees who are not involved in the dispute and who remain available for work. If, because of the industrial action taken, the employer cannot provide such continuity of work, the provisions of this Section relating to guaranteed minimum payments shall be suspended until normal working is restored.
