Court Rules Against Airport Split Shifts
Airport workers in Australia have had a legal win against their employer with the Federal Court of Australia ruling they can't be forced to work split shifts.
Justice Darryl Rangiah on Friday ruled airport services company Aerocare, now called Swissport Australia, can't require employees to work split shifts following a series of disputes in the Fair Work Commission.
In his ruling, the judge dismissed Aerocare's application to declare that split shifts are not prohibited under the employment award and workers are not entitled to overtime rates or recall penalties for the shifts.
