Despite 81% of ADHSU respondents choosing to stick with status quo, other parties continued an IRC application that has resulted in the Ministry demanding that all hours must be accounted for one way or another.

This has resulted in NSWA implementing reconciliation of hours (‘actuals’) which means members may be required to work additional shifts or have days off forced upon them at the behest of the Service.

You can guarantee the Service will pick shifts to take off you, or lump on you, that suits them with very little consideration of the needs of members.

Even though it is not of our doing, the Service has indicated that it will enter talks with ADHSU delegates regarding how the process will be implemented.

Delegates will be doing the best they can to ensure the best outcomes for members. Delegates need your input so they can strongly put your position to the employer.

Please complete the survey below. (If you hadn’t had a chance to read the latest newsletter on this subject follow this link).
