The FSU continues to visit workplaces to talk to staff and is also taking calls from concerned members asking questions about the looming Integration Date.

Some of the questions being asked include:

• What will the letter recently issued to me mean after Integration?
• I am on secondment – what will that mean after Integration?
• What salary range will apply to my position?
• What is going to happen with Relief after Integration? How do Owner Managed Branches deal with Relief?
• I have heard that staff transferred to Owner Managed Branches take their accrued entitlements with them, but lose them if they come back to Bank of Queensland Corporate again – is that true?
• We are being asked to come in early to attend training several times a week – it is becoming too much, what can we do?
• At 1 September Bank of Queensland staff under their Certified Agreement received a 4% increase. Do we get the increase too even though we are not integrated yet?

We have been able to answer many questions. Where we are not able to provide answers we are taking the questions to Bank of Queensland and will be providing feedback to the members involved.

A face to face meeting with Human Resources management is being arranged for the week beginning 15 September where we will be aiming to get further clarity on a number of matters. FSU Members will receive detailed feedback after this meeting.

Still not an FSU member? Did you know that FSU has a non-member policy? If you are not a member and join only because you now have a problem, we may not be able to assist you.
