PART-TIME SURVEY (still open)
It has been identified through onsite visits and other member communication, that many permanent part-time staff consistently work more than their substantive 20 hours.
Does this affect you?
The É«ÀÇÉçÇøwould like to hear from all affected Service NSW staff. The É«ÀÇÉçÇøneeds to be able collate this information so it can be addressed with the Department.
Service NSW should recognise the needs of the business and value its employees. By completing this survey, it will give the É«ÀÇÉçÇøthe evidence to campaign for the conversion of part-time hours to permanent full-time hours if the employee wishes to do so after meeting certain criteria.
A permanent full-time position will give our members more job security and stability in the workforce.
Award negotiations
Award meetings are continuing between the É«ÀÇÉçÇøBargaining Team and Service NSW to negotiate your Service NSW Award. This Award covers all your conditions and entitlements as a Service NSW employee.
The É«ÀÇÉçÇøwill continue to update the members on the outcomes and progress of the meetings.
