95.4 The Secretary shall not notify a staff member within one month of receiving the employee`s notice in accordance with clause 95.1 and until discussions of clause 95.2 have been completed. Meeting time can be reduced after consultation with the employee. 63.3 A shiftworker may, by mutual agreement and with the agreement of the secretary, exchange the worker`s class of service or scheduled days of leave with another shiftworker, provided that the exchange does not give rise to entitlement to overtime pay. Early wage increases for workers who have not benefited from a general wage increase since 2013 and the decision of the main civil service union not to conduct strong “no” vote campaigns in this vote also played a role in the adoption of agreements. 49.3 With the agreement of his or her supervisor and subject to operational requirements, an employee may take as many consecutive flexible time leaves as he or she has accumulated. 96.2 After obtaining an agreement to voluntarily terminate the surplus employee, the secretary will terminate the surplus employee`s employment relationship, in accordance with section 29 of the PS Act, within five business days of the employee`s voluntary reduction agreement or within another agreed period. 60.1 Employees may, with the agreement of their supervisor, waive overtime and take the time provided as work credit. But in recent times, department heads have been working to remove some of the harsher aspects of the policy and their insistence on removing the terms and pretensions of the agreements. 1.1 This Agreement, as defined in section 172 of the Fair Work Act 2009, is referred to as the Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development Enterprise Agreement 2016. 8.1 Where a dispute relates to a matter under this Agreement or the NES, the parties to the dispute shall first attempt to resolve the matter at the workplace level through interviews between the employee or personnel concerned and the appropriate supervisor. “The defense forces have finally adopted a new agreement, but reluctantly,” PCSU national secretary Nadine Flood said Wednesday.

The yes to defense follows the decision taken this week by officials of the 4,000-member Ministry of Agriculture to accept a new company agreement for the fifth time. Another union representing defence officials, Professionals Australia, said the new deal was “a bad deal from a deeply flawed process”. The end of the three-year industrial war in the Australian civil service seems near, with the largest Ministry of Defence to date agreeing to accept a new company deal. 53.1 EL staff (including staff members working under a part-time agreement) are required, as managers responsible for the provision of important results, to work from time to time and appropriate overtime, but may work flexible hours after prior consultation with their supervisor. 7.8 If a clause of this Agreement provides for a substantial change in the production, programme, organisation, structure or technology relating to the department`s enterprise, the requirements set out in point 7.2a and clauses 7.3 and 7.5 shall not apply. 63.6 If the seven-day non-communication is due to the illness of another employee or an unexpected absence, the secretary and the employee may enter into an agreement wherein the employee is seconded on an alternative day during the rotation cycle. . . .
