A heavy rainstorm or extreme heat can stop your team&#8217;s work but what does that mean for their pay? The term inclement weather refers to conditions that are unsafe or unreasonable for workers to continue working (think pouring rain, thunderstorms, extreme heat, etc.). In this article, we\u2019ll discuss how to handle inclement weather under the <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.workstem.com\/au\/blog\/gardening-and-landscaping-services-award-guide-ma000101\/\">Gardening and Landscaping Services Award 2020 (MA000101)<\/a>.<\/span> We\u2019ll answer common questions about whether you need to pay employees when work is rained out, how to lawfully\u00a0 workers during bad weather, and tips to manage these situations fairly.<\/p>\n<p>The <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.workstem.com\/au\/blog\/gardening-and-landscaping-services-award-guide-ma000101\/\">Gardening and Landscaping Award<\/a><\/span> does not contain special inclement weather provisions (unlike some construction awards), so it\u2019s important to understand the general rules. With a clear plan, you can keep your team safe and your business compliant when the weather doesn\u2019t cooperate.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"title-idx-0\" class=\"icon-anchor\">What counts as \u201cinclement weather\u201d?<\/h2>\n<p>Inclement weather generally means weather conditions that make it either unsafe or impractical for employees to work. In the context of gardening and landscaping, this usually includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Heavy rain<\/strong> \u2013 steady downpour or storms that would drench workers and create unsafe conditions (mud, slippery surfaces, risk of lightning).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Extreme wind or storms<\/strong> \u2013 high winds could make tree work dangerous or blow debris around.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Extreme heat<\/strong> \u2013 if temperatures soar to a level where heat illness is a risk (though heat is sometimes handled via safety policies or regulations beyond the award).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Other natural events<\/strong> \u2013 flooding, hail, severe cold, or even smoke from bushfires could be considered inclement if it impacts safety.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"title-idx-1\" class=\"icon-anchor\">Does the Gardening Award require paying employees when rain stops work?<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"944\" data-end=\"1229\">The Gardening &amp; Landscaping Award (<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/awards.fairwork.gov.au\/MA000101.html#_Toc201229855\">MA000101<\/a><\/span>) lacks a specific pay clause for weather stand-downs.
