Collective Agreement- Staff Log of Claims<br />
1) Quantum of pay increase, sign on bonus and term of Agreement<br />
We request a2.5% percent pay rise and a $650 sign on bonus and an Agreement that<br />
terminates on 30 June 2011.<br />
2) Confirmation of current entitlement to all current and future staff to<br />
Termination Payments as they are currently delivered<br />
We request that the current clause within the EBA be clarified to ensure that all current and<br />
future staff enjoy the current termination payment conditions.<br />
3) Administration of the LAMS Allowance<br />
We request that the LAMS Allowance be paid as an all purpose allowance, that is, on all days<br />
paid (i.e. annual leave and sick leave), rather than days worked, to reflect the additional<br />
availability required of LAMS staff during leave. This would mean that the LAMS Allowance is<br />
paid at 7% each day unless the employee is on leave without pay. We further believe that<br />
this will encourage staff to take annual leave (which is a stated goal of management in this<br />
process) as employees will no longer be disadvantaged if they do so.<br />
The practice of not paying out LAMS allowance on leave which is paid out at the termination<br />
of employment would continue.<br />
4) Review of Time Sheets, TOIL, on-call allowances and the LAMS Allowance<br />
We request that a working group with staff, management and union representatives be set<br />
up immediately after the signing of this Agreement and meet at least monthly during the life<br />
of this Agreement. Its goal must be to develop a series of options to present to staff before<br />
the next Agreement in relation to the management of time sheets, TOIL, on-call allowances<br />
and the LAMS allowance.<br />
This group should aim to develop modern, flexible solutions that take account the different<br />
needs of staff, the high pressure environment in which we work and the value of all time that<br />
is worked by staff in the Assembly.<br />
5) Application of the same additional conditions as the rest of the ACTPS<br />
We request that the following changes be made to the LAMS agreement:<br />
• The mature age payment in lieu of employer superannuation contributions for<br />
employees over 70 years of age.<br />
• The additional 5 days personal leave for bonding purposes (to a total of 15 days).<br />
• The additional 2 days bereavement leave per occasion (to a total of 5 days).<br />
• The commitment to pay all allowances on the appropriate payday.<br />
• The increased vacation childcare payments of $52 per day and maximum of $260 per<br />
child.<br />
We request that these conditions be applied to the LAMS Agreement as staff believe that they<br />
should form part of the negotiated wage outcome of 2.5% (as had been the case with the<br />
ACTPS Agreement) and should fairly apply to all staff, public servants or others, who agree<br />
to that same wage increase.
