Section 27BS provides for how the right to payment for short notice cancellation, movement or curtailment of shifts under section 27BP(1) relates to remuneration due under a worker’s contract.
	Subsection (1) provides that the right to receive a payment under section 27BP(1) does not affect the worker’s contractual rights to remuneration.
	Subsection (2) provides that where the employer makes a contractual payment to a worker in relation to hours for which a payment for short notice cancellation, movement or curtailment is due, the contractual payment goes towards discharging the employer’s liability to pay under section 27BP(1), i.e. is counted towards the payment due.
	Conversely, subsection (3) provides that, if the employer makes a payment for short notice cancellation, movement or curtailment required under section 27BP(1), that counts towards discharging any liability on the part of the employer to pay contractual remuneration for the same hours.
	Subsection (4) explains how the hours to which a payment relates for the purposes of this section are to be calculated, as follows:
where a shift has been cancelled, the hours are those that would have been worked if the shift had not been cancelled;
where a shift has been moved, or moved and curtailed, and no part of the shift now corresponds to the time of the original shift (e.g. where a shift is moved from 9am-12pm to 1pm-3pm), the hours are those that would have been worked during the original shift;
where a shift has been moved, or moved and curtailed, and part of the amended shift corresponds to the time of the original shift (e.g. where a shift is moved from 9am-11am to 10am-12pm), the hours are those that would have been worked during the part of the original shift that does not correspond to the amended shift;
where a shift has been curtailed, or moved and curtailed and the amended shift is to start and end within the time of the original shift (e.g. where a 9am-1pm shift changes to 10am to 1pm), the hours are those that would have been worked if the original shift had not been amended.
