If a Show Support Crew member is engaged to perform a certain ‘skilled’ activity and after completing this activity is required to go back to normal exhibition work, then under the Fair Work Act 2010, that employee is entitled to be paid, and must be charged, at the higher rate. Example: If you hire a General Crew through Show Support and he works in total 8hrs, 4hrs as an Exhibition Technician then 4hrs performing general duties, the shift will be charged as an Exhibition Technician / Skilled Crew for the duration of the shift.
