They would have to be getting paid for travel if that was the case. Show me where it says in the Award that they must complete 2 hours (or a shift) at one location. In fact, show me where it says that they must complete 2 hours of work. Are you suggesting an employer would not want his pound of flesh and gives people money they have not worked for? In my experience it's the opposite. Seems a very strange stance to take Greg, your pedantry is showing through. They don't want to pay for work not done, but they have to by law. And, it happens every single day. The Awards state minimum payments, not minimum times spent at work. Why would they not just make them work then? That seems to me to be what they would do. You'd be out of a job if bosses were that magnanimous. Wherever they can, they do. When there is no work to be done, however, they're sent home and paid for the minimum time specified in the Award (or Agreement). A good example, which happens every single night, is casuals stocking shelves in supermarkets. If all the pallets are empty, and all the floors are swept, before the end of a casual's minimum 3 hour shift (say, within 90 minutes for example), they're sent home early and paid for the full three hours. The managers hate doing it, but they want to get home too, so they don't have much choice. I thought were were talking about this...

Spot Why would the boss tell the help to go home for a paid hour instead of staying and working? It's up to the client, not the boss. If the client - Spot's mum - says she doesn't need any more help, the carer leaves her house. If the carer then calls the office and the office says they have no other clients booked, the carer is sent home. However, they're paid for the minimum two hours. Doesn't look like Spot's mum is sending them home but they don't have the time to stay to do any more. Isn't that how you'd read his post?
