Schedule A—Shearing Operations—Methods for calculating Minimum Rates

The minimum rate for Shearers shearing 100 flock sheep (if not found employee) is arrived at by the following formula:
Shearer’s formula | $
Minimum rate | 1057.23
Plus 20% piecework allowance—min rate x 20% | 211.45
Plus 25% casual loading—min rate x 25% | 264.31
Subtotal | 1532.99
Plus shearing industry allowance1 | 287.77
Plus rations1 | 79.78
Plus allowance for combs/cutters1 | 121.75
Plus payment for handpiece1 | 27.52
Weekly total for casual piecework Shearer with own handpiece (500 sheep) | 2049.81
Rate per 100 conversion—total divided by 5 | 409.96
1 The industry allowance, rations, combs/cutters and handpiece components are expense-related allowances adjusted in accordance with clause C.2.
[A.1.2 varied by PR729290, PR740716, PR762145, PR773920, PR786573, PR799316 ppc 01Jul26]
A.1.2 ‘If found’ rates are calculated by deducting $42.05 from the ‘not found’ rate. This amount is arrived at by adding the Shearing cook’s daily rate to one fifth of the Shearers’ ration component. The Shearing cook’s daily rate is calculated in accordance with clause A.5.
A.1.3 Engagement by the day
The per day rate for ‘not found’ employees is calculated by multiplying the old ‘not found' employee daily rate by the Shearers rate per 100 divided by the old Shearers rate per 100.
A.2 Crutching formula
The rates in clause 51.3(a) are arrived at by the formula in clause A.2.
Full crutching at sheds | 29% of Shearers per 100 rate
All other crutching at sheds | 23% of Shearers per 100 rate
Full crutching other than at sheds | 25% of Shearers per 100 rate
All other crutching other than at sheds | 20% of Shearers per 100 rate
Wigging or ringing | 11% of Shearers per 100 rate
Wigging or ringing in addition to crutching | 3% of Shearers per 100 rate
Wigging and ringing | 18% of Shearers per 100 rate
Wigging and ringing in addition to crutching | 5% of Shearers per 100 rate
Cleaning bellies etc. | 2.5% of Shearers per 100 rate
