The community and public sector union and the government have come together on a package that aims to reward you for the important work you do, while ensuring that public services can be delivered more responsively. Such a transfer would be by mutual agreement between the employer and the worker, instead of proceeding with an unsatisfactory work delivery process, in accordance with clause 24. If you have any questions regarding the VPS agreement, please send an email to vpsagreement2020@dpc.vic.gov.au (link will leave this page). Our clients have previously considered the unfortunate uncertainty as to whether it is the power to achieve a result of multiple sanctions by the clause or whether the sanctions apply disjunctively, meaning that only one can be applied. In some cases, an employer may consider it appropriate to apply more than one sanction to appropriately address proven misconduct without having to resort to termination of the employment relationship. For obvious reasons, it is preferable, in such cases, to make it clear that this approach is compatible with the company agreement. Benefits for workers under the new company agreement include annual wage increases, a new mobility payment, higher overtime rates and night pay, as well as higher parental leave. In case of authorization, the agreement is subject to the formal approval of the Fair Work Commission. Clause 15 contains a statement of intent that the VPS Agreement as a whole is to be interpreted in accordance with the mobility principles and an explicit obligation for the parties to work towards the operationalisation of the mobility principles during the term of the agreement. As was widely reported at the time of the vote on the VPS agreement, employees receive salary increases of just over 8% during the term of the agreement during the four years of the agreement, as well as increases in the resulting allowances, with the first increases to be paid from 20 March 2020. A full list of amendments to the current agreement and a copy of the final agreement for review are attached. Take some time to review the proposed agreement before the vote.
Flexible work will be clarified and protected by consolidating all existing agreements into a specific part of the new agreement. Staff no longer have to work 12 months before requesting flexible working rules.
