Fair Work Regulations 2009

The attendee is entitled to a payment (an attendance allowance) towards meeting any loss of earnings that the attendee incurs when the attendee is necessarily absent from the attendee’s work to attend as required by the FWO notice.

The amount of the attendance allowance is the amount (the usual pay) that the attendee would otherwise have been entitled to receive for performing his or her normal duties during the attendee’s absence from work to attend the specified place.

When claiming the attendance allowance, the attendee must provide evidence that confirms:

the attendee’s usual pay; and

that the attendee did not receive the attendee’s usual pay for the time when the attendee was necessarily absent from the attendee’s work to attend the specified place.
