Service NSW Award Review
Service NSW Award Review 8 April 2015 (PDF version)
As you may be aware, the current Service NSW award expires on 30 June 2015.
The PSA met with Service NSW management on Wednesday 25 March to begin official negotiations on the Service NSW (Salaries and Conditions) Employees Award.
A number of issues were discussed at this first meeting, including:
- Wage claim
The PSA’s submission for a 2.5% wage rise has been agreed to. This is consistent with other public sector workers, and has progressed to the Wages Taskforce for approval. We will keep members posted on progress.
- Uniform allowance
Service NSW staff should have access to a uniform allowance in line with other public sector workers covered under the Crown Employees (Public Service Conditions of Employment) Award 2009.
This allowance covers the laundering of uniforms which are required to be worn. Service NSW do not want to include the allowance in the award.
- Flexible working hours for office staff
A Flexible Working Hours scheme for front office staff. Whilst Service NSW is open to the idea, no agreement has been struck.
The PSA is committed to representing YOUR concerns throughout the negotiations.
