The CPSU NSW is aware Life Without Barriers (LWB) have announced a master roster change which impacts members working at Warner Avenue.
Master roster changes require your employer to consult with you regarding your circumstances.
Your employer cannot simply impose a new roster without demonstrating that they have considered what you have put forward.
The Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services Industry Award sets out the following provisions:
8A. Consultation about changes to rosters or hours of work
8A.1 Clause 8A applies if an employer proposes to change the regular roster or ordinary hours of work of an employee, other than an employee whose working hours are irregular, sporadic or unpredictable.
8A.2 The employer must consult with any employees affected by the proposed change and their representatives (if any).
8A.3 For the purpose of the consultation, the employer must:
(a) provide to the employees and representatives mentioned in clause 8A.2 information about the proposed change (for example, information about the nature of the change and when it is to begin); and
(b) invite the employees to give their views about the impact of the proposed change on them (including any impact on their family or caring responsibilities) and also invite their representative (if any) to give their views about that impact.
8A.4 The employer must consider any views given under clause 8A.3(b).
