This blog will clarify the definition of split shifts under the Cleaning Services Award MA000022, explain minimum engagement pay requirements, highlight common underpayment scenarios, and provide helpful calculations for legal compliance.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"title-idx-0\" class=\"icon-anchor\">What is a Split Shift?<\/h2>\n<p>A split shift in the cleaning industry refers to a work schedule that is divided into two or more segments within a single day. For example, an employee might work from 8 AM to 11 AM, take a long break, and then resume work from 4 PM to 7 PM. According to the MA000022 award, specific rules govern how split shifts are structured and compensated.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"title-idx-1\" class=\"icon-anchor\">Who Does It Apply To?<\/h2>\n<p>These regulations apply to employees working under the Cleaning Services Award MA000022 across various states, including New South Wales (NSW), Victoria (VIC), and Queensland (QLD). Employers must be aware of these laws to ensure fairness and compliance in their employment practices.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"title-idx-2\" class=\"icon-anchor\">When Are Split Shifts Used?<\/h2>\n<p>Split shifts are commonly utilized in environments where cleaning work is needed at multiple times throughout the day. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Commercial cleaning in offices after business hours.<\/li>\n<li>Caretaking jobs for facilities that require constant maintenance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"title-idx-3\" class=\"icon-anchor\">How to Calculate Split Shift Pay<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Example: Level 3 Casual working:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>8-10 AM (Office clean)<\/li>\n<li>4-6 PM (Return clean)<\/li>\n<li>1-hour travel time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Pay Component<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Calculation<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Amount<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">AM Engagement<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">3h guarantee \u00d7 $31.50<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">$94.50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">PM Engagement<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">3h guarantee \u00d7 $31.50<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">$94.50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Travel Time<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">1h \u00d7 $31.50<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">$31.50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Total<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">$220.50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"title-idx-4\" class=\"icon-anchor\">How Workstem Helps Cleaning Services Award Businesses<\/h2>\n<p>Simplify award interpretation and payroll processing with <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.workstem.com\/au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Workstem<\/a>,<\/span> the all-in-one <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.workstem.com\/au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">workforce management &amp; payroll software<\/a> <\/span>designed for every industry. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our system supports <\/span><b>122+ modern awards &amp; 34 EAs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, including the<\/span><b> Cleaning Services Award 2025<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and keeps you up-to-date with changes in wage rates, penalty rates, and overtime rules.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Managing payroll under the Cleaning Services Award 2025 can be complex.
