DoE Flexible Working Hours Agreement 2019 Bulletin - Nov 2019 (PDF version)

The current Department of Education Flexible Working Hours Agreement ends on 15 December 2019.

Your Senior Delegates and PSA staff met with the department and discussed a new Flexible Working Hours Agreement at the last Joint Consultative Committee.

The Department proposal is for a three-year agreement.

Apart from two additional clauses that deal specifically with some classifications in Training Services NSW there are no changes to the existing agreement proposed.

The proposed clauses are:

• Training Advisors and Training Coordinators bandwith would be from 6.00am to 8.00pm.
• Training Advisors and Training Coordinators should not work more than 45 hours in a week.

The agreement still includes;

• 12-week settlement period and up to six flex days in each
• Carryover of a maximum of 42 hours’ credit
• Carryover of a maximum of 14 hours’ debit
• Bandwidth of 7:30am to 6:00pm, excluding ECE field-based staff
• Coretime of 9:30am to 3:00pm, excluding ECE field-based staff
• Bandwidth of 13 hours for ECE field-based staff with the earliest start being 7:00am and the latest finishing time being 8:00pm
• Coretime for ECE field based staff is a floating period of any six continuous hours (including a meal break of not less than 30 minutes and no more than three hours) within the bandwidth
