Corrective Services Non-Custodial Joint Consultative Committee Update – June 2016 (PDF version)
Today the É«ÀÇÉçÇøand delegates attended the Peak Justice JCC.
On behalf of members working in Non-Custodial roles, the following two outstanding matters were raised.
- Excessive workload for Community Corrections officers.
- The incorrect grading of roles in the Administration and Stores Review and Restructure.
CCO workload
At a previous JCC held on the 18 May 2016, the Department of Justice gave an undertaking they had been working on a resolution for the continued excessive workload for Community Corrections Officers.
A fortnight after that assurance, the É«ÀÇÉçÇøcontacted the Department for an update. After not receiving a response, the É«ÀÇÉçÇøraised the issue with Mr Cappie-Wood, Secretary for the Department, who assured the É«ÀÇÉçÇøthe matter will be followed up and the Association will receive an answer shortly.
Admin Instruction and Stores Review
The É«ÀÇÉçÇøand delegates have spent considerable time critiquing documents provided by the Department on the restructure.
During this time, it was discovered that the score given to a role did not match the grade. In particular the É«ÀÇÉçÇøquestioned why roles at a half have been downgraded to a Clerk General Scale despite attaining a score that places this role at a higher grade.
Mr Cappie-Wood immediately asked the Executive Director, Human Resources Mr Michael Baldi to look into the É«ÀÇÉçÇøclaims and report back on the matter.
Once the É«ÀÇÉçÇøhas received answers to these questions we will provide a further bulletin to members.
