Good news! Bank of Queensland employees have voted up our new Enterprise Agreement (EA), with an overwhelming 92% voting ‘yes’.

Congratulations to every FSU member for achieving this fantastic result. As you know, it hasn’t come from nowhere. Workers don’t achieve improvements to our pay and conditions because of the good-natured generosity of employers – we fight for these improvements, and we do it together.

Here's what we've won together in our new EA:

• An increase to minimum rates of pay
• 50% work from home right enshrined in a new section dedicated to Workplace Flexibility
• Improvements to the workplace change and redundancy process
• An increase to special paid leave (now called wellbeing leave) from three to five days per year
• An additional two days’ sick leave to 12 per year
• An increase to compassionate leave to five days per occasion
• Removal of mandatory two-week block of annual leave per year and reduction in shutdown days
• An expansion of higher duties
• Increases to allowances
• Simplified overtime and increased eligibility for lower paid workers.

What happens now?

Once our EA gets the final tick of approval from the Fair Work Commission, our new wages and conditions will apply.

Our work doesn’t end here, though. To continue securing positive outcomes in the future – and to ensure our new EA is correctly implemented – we must keep our union strong across Bank of Queensland.

If you're not already a member, join the union that's winning better pay and conditions for Bank of Queensland employees today.

Congratulations once again on securing this improved Agreement.
