WORKPLACE FLEXIBILITY PROPOSAL UPDATE
The
Public Service Association (PSA) has been contacted by the Department
for Families and Communities(DFC) to discuss the possibility of
including Community Residential Care(CRC), Marni Wodli and
Transitional Accommodation(TA) into the Workplace Flexibility
Proposal agreed upon for Secure Care shift workers.
This
concept was initially put forward by the PSA and as such, the PSA
viewed this request favorably. PSA Worksite Representatives Darryl
Winter, Pam Saunders and Susan Lawrence, all from TA, and PSA
Industrial Officer Jean-Guy Townsend attended a meeting on the 24th
March 2009 with DFC Human Resources officers to discuss the
ramifications of such a proposal.
Both
parties agreed that the current arrangements would be reflected in
the new proposal. This will ensure that Paid Days Off and current
rostering will remain in place with the inclusion of a CRIB Break.
Due
to TA working a 5 week rotating roster, a separate proposal may be
required or at the least some words specific to this situation will
be included in the current proposal.
It
was also agreed that DFC will write to the PSA giving assurances that
the status quo of rosters and PDO's will remain in place and that the
new Workplace Flexibility Proposal will be included in the 2009
Enterprise Agreement.
The
PSA will advise members when it receives written confirmation from
DFC.
If you have any other questions or queries please do not hesitate to contact your PSA Worksite Representatives or PSA Industrial Officer, Jean-Guy Townsend on 8205 3233 or email jgt@cpsu.asn.au PSA MEMBERS WHO STAND TOGETHER, WIN TOGETHER! 24 December 2009
