  • Incorporation of the redundancy and redeployment policy.
  • Preservation of the Manly C/O’s and SAO’s overtime payment.
  • Higher duties are to be paid for all time worked, no minimum number of shifts.
  • Work/life balance included in rostering principals.
  • Clarity around evidence requirements for sick, carers and compassionate leave.
  • Leave loading included in the agreement for the first time.
  • Inclusion of express “status quo” principal in the disputes settlement clause – means once we put something in dispute change is put on hold.
  • Ability for Senior Officers to be paid single-rate overtime.
  • Clarity around when the “afternoon penalty” will be paid and how much it is.
  • Inclusion of a crib break clause.
  • Maintenance of all other terms and conditions.

 

After the briefing a vote will be held and if the agreement is voted up by employees then it will be lodged with Fair Work.
