The Full Bench Decision regarding the No Extra Claims Clause following
the Arbitration Case was handed down yesterday (Tuesday 4 October).

At hearings in August the PSA put submissions that the No Extra Claims
Clause should not prevent PSA pursuing matters which were not the
subject of Arbitration. The Government opposed the PSA submissions.

The Full Bench Decision determined that the parties are able to "pursue
claims during the life of this Award seeking an Enterprise Agreement or
a variation to this Award in respect of the following matters that were
identified in proceedings..." Salaries and Paid Maternity Leave were the
subject of Arbitration and therefore cannot be pursued further.

The 16 matters that are able to be pursued are as follows:

On Call, OHS, Training, Shift allowances review, 4 Corrections specific
items, public holiday work,casual loading, local allowances review, CFS
overtime, classification structure and criteria, shared services
continuous improvement, transfers between agencies and redeployment
practices.

The No Extra Claims Clause will remain in force until 1 June 2006.

A Worksite Representatives meeting will be held at 12.30 pm on Friday,
14 October 2005 at the PSA, 122 Pirie Street, Adelaide to further
discuss this matter.
