    CAMP ACCOMMODATION

(a) A worker compelled to live more than one mile from his work, who
has to walk to and from work shall be paid travelling-time at ordinary time
rate computed on the basis of twenty minutes to the mile for all distance
travelled in excess of the first mile to and from work. (E.g., if a man lives
a mile and a quarter from his work he is entitled to payment for half a mile,
or ten minutes, for the day.)

(b) (i) When workers are conveyed by the Department to and from
work the officer in charge shall, after consultation with the union representative, fix a place and time for starting, and returning, and also the time
allowed for the trip. Where practicable, the starting-time of the trip shall
be not earlier than twenty minutes before the ordinary time for commencing
work, and the time of arriving back at the camp shall be not later than
twenty minutes after the ordinary time for ceasing work.

(ii) Time so occupied in travelling to and from work in excess of twenty
minutes each way shall be paid for at ordinary time rate. Workers shall
not be entitled to payment for any excess travelling time caused by
breakdown of, or accidents to conveyances.

(iii) Workers shall travel in their own time to the arranged transport-
starting place.

(c) Co-operative contract workers shall be paid for travelling-time at the
appropriate day-wages rate.

(d) Time occupied in travelling to and from work shall not count towards
overtime or as part of the day's work except when a worker is called back
for overtime from his home without prior notice.

(e) Fettlers travelling by hand-velocipede not less than four miles to
their work may commence work fifteen minutes later than the ordinary
starting-time, and cease work fifteen minutes earlier than the ordinary
finishing-time. For each complete additional mile beyond four miles, five
minutes extra shall be allowed.

(f) Fettlers supplied with motor-velocipedes travelling not less than four
miles to their work may commence work ten minutes later than the ordinary
starting-time, and cease work ten minutes earlier than the ordinary finishing-
time. For each complete additional mile beyond four miles three minutes
extra shall be allowed.

(g) Where the work is of a scattered nature, and the Department finds
it inconvenient to provide transport, thus necessitating workers using their
own bicycles for travelling to and from work, the following scale of mileage
allowance shall apply:

            Allowance

Distance. Per Working-day.
s. d.
Over one mile and under two miles .. .. 0 6
Two miles and under three miles .. .. 0 9
Three miles and under four miles .. .. 1 2
Four miles and up to five miles .. .. 1 6

The distance travelled shall count one way only and shall be determined by
the ordinary shortest route. Workers shall not be entitled to payment for
travelling time.

(h) A worker who desires to reside at home and not occupy either single
or married workers accommodation may be paid travelling-time in terms
of clause 23 hereof, provided he is residing within a reasonable travelling
distance from the work. The officer in charge and the union representative
shall decide whether or not such distance is reasonable.
