               2.11 PAYMENT TERMS
               The Company aims to maintain a compensation (wages/salary, employee benefits, annual leave, etc.)
               system  that  is  fair  and  internally  equitable.  Rates  of  pay  are  determined  based  on  National
               Agreements, job requirements, the competencies required to do the job, the performance of the
               Company and the economic and commercial environment within which it operates.
               Your remuneration is specified in your Contract of Employment. Pay reviews in the Company are based
               on four main principles, 1) National Wage Agreement, 2) Ability to pay, 3) Performance of employee
               during the year, 4) position against market. A review, where applicable, will only be conducted for
               those employees who have successfully completed their probation periods and who are not subject
               to the company's disciplinary procedure.

               2.11.1 Payment of Wages Act Consent
               This Agreement constitutes your prior written consent in writing to all deductions or payments under
               the  Payment  of  Wages  Act,  1991  as  are  contemplated  by  your  contract  of  employment  or  this
               Employee Handbook.

               2.11.2 Overtime
               The company must be responsive to the needs of our customers. Consequently, employees may be
               required to work a reasonable amount of overtime. Such overtime working must not conflict with the
               Organisation of Working Time Act 1997, in particular legislation on working hours and rest periods.
               The principles of the Act must carry through into our work practices. All overtime must be worked in
               accordance with the principles of the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997.
               The  Company  continues  to  look  at  ways  and  means  of  improving  the  work/life  balance  of  our
               employees, bearing this in mind we need to ensure that the legislation of working hours and rest
               periods are applied.

               Overtime is scheduled at Manager’s discretion and is subject to their authorisation. Management
               reserves the right to determine the duration of overtime and the number of employees required to
               work same. It is recognised that overtime working is not compulsory, but employees agree to co-
               operate in working reasonable amounts of overtime as deemed necessary by management to meet
               business and customer requirements.

               For all other staff members (part-time, fixed-hours, flexi-time and weekend staff) any overtime hours
               worked will be paid at the normal rate of pay as stated on the contract of employment.

               2.11.3 Pay Periods
               All employees are required to register their start and end times and break times on a daily basis using
               the relevant local system/procedures.
               Your pay period and whether you are paid weekly in arrears or monthly at month end is determined
               by your class of employment within the Company (full-time, part-time, flexi-hours, etc.) and is stated
               on your Contract of Employment.
