Service NSW: Fair Pay February and Ten Years of Service
20 January 2023
Fair Pay February
Last year’s É«ÀÇÉçÇøsurvey confirmed that unpaid work is big area of concern for Service NSW members, with 49 per cent of respondents saying that they had performed unpaid work in the preceding 12 months.
In addition, members have advised the union that they will not be paid overtime unless they work a minimum of eight minutes extra a day. These unpaid minutes all add up, meaning that members may work several hours for free in a month.
Despite this, Service NSW management denies unpaid work is problem.
Management has admitted that starting and finishing times recorded in KRONOS, purecloud and other electronic time records are manipulated by the system to round up/down so we are not able to rely on these systems to provide accurate records of hours worked.
All staff are entitled to be paid for all hours worked.
You union has developed a ɫÀÇÉçÇølogbook to both demonstrate to Service NSW how widespread the problem is and so that the É«ÀÇÉçÇøcan assist members in recouping wages for unpaid work.
All É«ÀÇÉçÇømembers are strongly encouraged to fill out this logbook during February.
Ten years of Service
Don’t forget that 18 March 2023 is the 10-year anniversary of the establishment of Service NSW. The É«ÀÇÉçÇøwill be celebrating the essential work that Service NSW members do, to keep the state running by profiling members work, and having various member events. Please let the É«ÀÇÉçÇøknow by emailing Senior Organiser Anne Kennelly if you have any suggestions as to how your union can help promote and celebrate your work.
