🎯 If you are unsure if this Pay Type applies to your circumstances, please refer to the Payee's Employment Contract or obtain advice from either the Australian Taxation Office or Fair Work Ombudsman.
Time Off In Lieu (Taken) is applicable when there is a written agreement to allow overtime worked to be banked as Time Off In Lieu, allowing the Payee to take paid time off instead of being paid overtime pay.
