Public Service Association Worksite Representatives Craig Martin, Teri Farley, Linda Johnson, Josie Piercy and Debbie McPherson and Industrial Officer, Vanessa Ravenhill, attended the Boundary Realignment Project Consultative Committee meeting on Monday 3 March 2008.

At this meeting it was again stated that registrations of interest to relocate will be open to all District Centre staff. However, staff who meet the country service requirements will be given priority consideration, along with staff from the offices most affected by the realignment, being Aberfoyle Park, Enfield, Modbury, Murray Bridge and Noarlunga.

This is consistent with the Human Resource Management Principles which state under clause 13 “Terms and Conditions Of Employment” that all terms and conditions for non executive staff who are required to transfer to different locations will be those generally applicable to employees covered by the SA Govt Wages Parity (Salaried) Enterprise Agreements and relevant DFC Human Resource Policies.

Every effort will be made to release the “Registration of Interest” application form via email on Tuesday 11 March 2008.

PSA has been asked to forward nominations for the Placement Panel(s) and Grievance Panel(s).
The Placement Panel will consist of a District Centre Manager, a Human Resource Consultant and and a staff representative.

The Grievance panel will be established to hear grievances relating to the relocation of staff resulting from the implementation of the State Government regions and will consist of an Independent chairperson external to Families SA, a Human Resource Consultant and a nominee of the PSA.

Worksite Representatives and interested members not applying for relocation, are encouraged to lodge an expression of interest to participate in either/both of these panels by forwarding their name to PSA Industrial Officer Vanessa Ravenhill by email on vr@cpsu.asn.au no later than 12.00 noon Wednesday 12^th March 2008.
