After Hours Child Protection Service Ten Hour Break ‚Äö?Ñ?¨ Whole Shift Payment

CPSU has now been formally advised that DHS will rectify the shift underpayments following our representations.

These underpayments arose when employees commenced work later than the rostered time to comply with the ten hour break but where not paid for the whole shift as required by our EBA.

This was not picked up by DHS when clause 9.3 of Appendix 7 of our Victorian Public Service Agreement 2006 (CENTRAL AFTER HOURS CHILD PROTECTION SERVICE - TEN HOUR BREAK) came into affect, resulting in some AHS employees being underpaid.

To identify those employees who have been underpaid, DHS will retrieve all timesheets and check to identify and pay those employees who have been underpaid.

As this relates to our 2006 Agreement, timesheets will be checked from 14 March 2006 (the effective date of the Agreement).

Australia has a proud history of unionism. Union members work together to continually improve working conditions.

The benefits we enjoy now are the result of many decades of effort by union members.

By constantly pushing for improvement in all workplaces, we set an example for our fellow workers around the world and for the next generation of Australians.

CPSU's 7 day a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year industrial protection ensures you have the principal public sector organisation looking after your working rights, winning wage increases, protecting your conditions, and providing personal industrial assistance when you need it.

CPSU MEMBERSHIP IS PROTECTION FOR YOUR MOST IMPORTANT ASSET. YOUR JOB.

Speak to a colleague today about the benefits of CPSU membership and have them contribute to our successes rather than just enjoying the benefits.
