A new clause affecting proprietors selling oil and petrol only as a side line to their own business, provides that an employee not engaged substantially as a petrol and oil attendant is to work solely under the provisions of the award governing the conditions of labour in his principal business. This clause necessitates the payment of overtime rates to workers employed outside the prescribed hours. An employer employing workers substantially in the sale of petrol and oil will be bound by clause seven of the award.
