Working from home: an update from the PSA
7 August 2024
In the past 24 hours the É«ÀÇÉçÇøhas received many queries from members about the Premier’s circular on working-from-home arrangements.
The Combined Transport Unions have informed the Transport Secretary that we are deeply disappointed by the Government’s lack of consultation on this issue. We have sought immediate confirmation that those employees currently working remotely continue to do so. The É«ÀÇÉçÇørequires that until such time as genuine consultation has occurred, the status quo remains.
The Transport Secretary has informed the É«ÀÇÉçÇøthat the Department is immediately setting up a working group to examine the requirements of the Premier’s Department guidance, and that further consultation with the Combined Transport Unions will occur over the coming weeks.
Your union believes there will always be flexibility in the workplace and we will never return to pre-COVID work arrangements.
É«ÀÇÉçÇøIndustrial staff have been in contact with your Delegates. The more information we have from our members to take to the Government, the better. Therefore, we urge members to raise their concerns to Delegates.
In the coming days, the É«ÀÇÉçÇøwill update members with any further developments regarding the circular from the Premier.
The É«ÀÇÉçÇøis here for you. Any member with issues in flexible working arrangements, including working from home, will receive support from their union. If you believe you have a case for flexible working arrangements that is being overruled by your employer, please contact the É«ÀÇÉçÇøat "> or on 1800 772 679.
The É«ÀÇÉçÇøwill only support members. Non-members are urged to .
