FA-94181 / Shift rostering labor rules / Open access

Fifteen-minute addition treated as de minimis · case 01

Adding exactly 15 minutes earns no premium.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 8 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

The de-minimis comparison excludes 15 minutes.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Additions of 15 minutes or more earn the premium.

Unsuccessful approach: Paying the changed minutes for small additions breaks the de-minimis exemption.

Case contract

Each change is [kind (add/cut/cancel), notice minutes before the shift, changed minutes, initiator]. Changes initiated by the worker or mutual swaps, or with at least 14 days (20160 minutes) notice, earn nothing. Additions of at least 15 minutes earn 60 premium minutes. Cuts or cancellations earn 60, or max(60, lost // 2) with less than 24 hours notice. Return [per-change premiums, total].

Why this case matters

Fair-workweek predictability pay depends on precise notice thresholds and exemptions.

Verification & scope

Stipulated toy labor rule for a bounded roster model; it is not legal advice and does not claim conformance with any jurisdiction, award, or collective agreement. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
