Unpaid wages win for ADHC staff
The É«ÀÇÉçÇøhas won four years of unpaid overtime for ADHC staff at the Tomaree Centre.
The Centre is a facility for adults with an intellectual disability at Shoal Bay, in the Port Stephens region of NSW.
Staff realised they had been continually working more hours than their mandated 76-hour fortnights, yet were not paid for any excess time on the job.
Regional organiser for the PSA, Paul James, approached the department’s regional director and requested a pay audit.
After the audit, the director arranged for staff to be paid for the extra hours worked over the past four years.
