The CPSU NSW has been made aware that former Department of Family and Communities Services Disability Support Workers now working at Northcott are being underpaid.
Under Clause 19 d of the Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA), members should be paid at the rate of level 2.2. Currently the level 2.2 rate is $34.46 per hour (as increased by the Fair Work Annual Wage Review). The CPSU NSW, however, is in receipt of pay slips which state members on level 2.2 are being paid $33.42 per hour.
This is a clear underpayment.
CPSU NSW members working at Northcott who were former Department employees are urged to contact their union and provide copies of their pay slips.
“Northcott must rectify the underpayment and pay members what they are lawfully entitled to,” said CPSU NSW General Secretary Stewart Little.
Once further information is received from members, the CPSU NSW will contact Northcott.
A breakdown of pay rates can be found at this CPSU NSW bulletin.
Underpayment: what to do
Underpayment happens in a wide variety of worksites covered by the PSA CPSU. If you suspect you or colleagues are underpaid, please contact your union at [email protected] or on 1800 772 679.
