Section 27BQ provides further detail on how the powers in section 27BP can be exercised.
	Subsection (1) provides that regulations made to specify the payment amount under section 27BP(1) may not specify an amount that is greater than what the worker would have earned had the shift not been cancelled, moved or curtailed, i.e. that regulations:
under subsection (1)(a), may not specify a payment amount greater than what the worker would have earned had they worked the hours that were cancelled;
under subsection (1)(b), where a shift is moved or moved and curtailed (at the same time) and no part of the amended shift corresponds to the original time of the shift (e.g. where a shift is moved from 9am-12pm to 1pm-3pm), may not specify an amount greater than what the worker would have earned from working the original shift. So, in the example, the payment amount may not be higher than what the worker would have earned from working 9am to 12pm;
under subsection (1)(c), where a shift is moved or moved and curtailed (at the same time) and part of the new shift corresponds to the original time of the shift (e.g. where a shift is moved from 9am-11am to 10am-12pm), may not specify an amount greater than what the worker would have earned had they worked the part of the original shift that was moved, or moved and curtailed. So, in the example, the payment amount may not be higher than what the worker would have earned from working 9am to 10am;
under subsection (1)(d), where a shift is curtailed but not moved or where a shift is moved and curtailed (at the same time) and the shift is now due to start and end within the time of the original shift (e.g. where a 9am-1pm shift changes to 10am to 1pm), may not specify an amount greater than what the worker would have earned had they worked the hours that will not now be worked. So, in the example, the payment amount may not be higher than what the worker would have earned from working 9am to 10am.
	Subsection (2) clarifies that regulations under section 27BP(1) may, in particular, specify different payment amounts depending on how short the notice given was.
	Subsection (3) provides that regulations specifying contracts in scope under section 27BP(2)(c) and (3) may, in particular, specify contracts by reference to a maximum payment amount or maximum number of hours guaranteed to the worker under the contract.
	Subsection (4) provides that the period for short notice, to be set in regulations under section 27BP(6), may not be greater than 7 days.
