Question Title

* 1. In a previous survey we asked you if you would agree to a change in your ordinary hours. Overwhelmingly the feedback was no. Australian Unity are now proposing to maintain your span of hours 7am - 7pm but your ordinary days of work has been expanded to Monday - Sunday. Do you agree with having your ordinary days of work changed to Monday - Sunday?

Question Title

* 2. Whilst flex time has been included in the proposal they have included a clause which can change how flex time operates as it is seeking agreement that there is productive work available. What is meant by agreement is vague and nor does it outline how agreement is sought. In maintaining access to flex, do you agree to the changes proposed by Australian Unity?

Question Title

* 3. Though, Australian Unity have included flex time in the new proposal they have made it so it only applies to transferred staff, creating unnecessary division in the workplace. Do you want flex time applying only to transferred staff?

Question Title

* 4. Would you consider RDO's as an alternative to flex time?

Question Title

* 5. Currently in your conditions of employment your starting and finishing times can be changed to accommodate the office hours. In the proposed agreement Australian Unity has changed this condition to include the ability to change not just your hours of work but days with no requirement for there to be a connection to accommodate office hours. Do you wish for these changes to occur to your conditions?

Question Title

* 6. There is a clause within the proposed agreement that could see all administrative staff working ordinary hours across six days a week, rather than working five days currently. Would you agree to this change in your conditions?

Question Title

* 7. When working overtime there has been the ability to chose whether you would like to be compensated through payment or time in lieu. Australian Unity have removed your ability to chose and you will only be able to be compensated for overtime with time in lieu if it is agreed by Australian Unity, do you want such a change in your conditions?

Question Title

* 8. The consultation provisions proposed by Australian Unity only provide for consultation once a definite decision is made that there will be change. The CPSU - NSW have proposed already that consultation is to occur throughout the process, prior to a definite decision, this would be genuine consultation. Do you want a provision that requires consultation before a definite decision has been made?

Question Title

* 9. Whilst you were a government employee you could been suspended without pay however there were guidelines around when this could occur. Australian Unity have proposed to have a very broad and vague suspension without pay provision, stating "due to actions omissions by you, you are not ready, will and able to be rostered to work, or whereby there is reasonable basis to say that your continuing to work would be inconsistent with Australian Unity's obligations to you, our customers or the community, or you are legally unable to perform work pending a resolution of a matter."

The CPSU - NSW have requested for there to be no suspension without pay clause. However, if there is to be a suspension without pay clause would you want this clause to provide more guidance around when a suspension without pay can occur?

Question Title

* 10. The on - call provisions have remained, the CPSU - NSW has requested previously more information about the implementation before it can comment on the proposal to even have the clause within the agreement.

Members in the past have expressed reservation about the on call provisions being in the agreement. If you are one of those members who does not wish to have the on call provisions within the agreement, is there anything that could be changed or added into the clause that would result in you agreeable to such a clause?
