As part of the negotiations for the 2020 EA, CBA are proposing changes to the way shiftwork is dealt with by your EA. In order to properly consider these changes we need to hear from you. We’ve put together a summary of the changes below, and we’re hosting a mass member meeting online on 25 August to discuss. RSVP here.
- A 7-day shift worker is someone who is regularly rostered to work on Sat, Sun and public holidays.
- A 5-day shift worker is someone who is regularly rostered to work from 6am to 11:23pm Monday to Saturday.
- Usually if you’re a “shiftworker” for the purposes of the EA, you know about it. If you’re unsure, give us a call on 1300 366 378.
- Morning Shift:
Current Definition – Commencing on or after 6am and before 8am: 12.5%.
Proposed Definition – Commencing on or after 4am and before 7am: 12.5% - Afternoon Shift:
Current Definition – (branch employees only) commencing on or after 4pm but before midnight and finishing after 9pm: 17.5%.
Proposed Definition – (not limited to branches any more) Finishing at or after 8pm but before midnight: 17.5% - Night Shift:
Current Definition – Commencing on or after midnight but before 6am: 25%.
Proposed Definition – Commencing before 4am and finishing at or after midnight: 25%
- There are two sets of preserved conditions for shiftworkers, those affecting workers who commenced their role prior to the commencement of the 2010 Enterprise Agreement and a separate group of preserved conditions for those who work in Direct Banking and Technology, Operations and Procurement.
- CBA’s proposed changes would remove these legacy provisions and place all Shiftworkers onto the hours/loading structure detailed above.
