Macquarie University update
6 July 2016
Working extra hours?
A recent restructure at Macquarie allegedly showed 鈥渋ncreased productivity and efficiencies鈥 achieved by staff working additional hours without overtime or time off in lieu.
2 positions were subsequently deleted.
Members are reminded that overtime and time off in lieu provisions are captured in the Professional Staff Enterprise Agreement.
Clause 4.2.6 states 鈥淗ours in excess of ordinary hours on any day or over the fortnight will be paid at overtime rates鈥.
Ordinary hours of duty for full time staff are 70 hours per fortnight.
Don鈥檛 undermine your hard won conditions!
Talk to your colleagues and MQU delegates if you feel pressured to work extra hours and are not being paid overtime or taking flex days.
