Joint Consultative Committee
Road Service Patrols
Operating Guidelines
As an additional method of facilitating communication and understanding with Road Service Patrols and management, a Joint Consultative Committee will operate.
Purpose:
The purpose of the committee is:
1. To provide a vehicle for joint problem solving and consultation regarding operational issues affecting Road Service aimed at creating a more productive and satisfying work environment.
2. To facilitate open communication within Road Service.
3. To promote contribution to the development of policies and procedures affecting the Department’s operations. (Such issues may include for example, rosters, WH&S, overtime allocation, training, application of Industrial instruments).
4. To table issues and concerns from each section within the area with a view to achieving amicable resolutions of such issues.
5. To enhance the quality of decision making in those areas that affect the operations of the Department.
Chairpersonship:
The committee chairperson is generally the Executive Manager, Road Service or a delegated Officer. Chairperson shall be rotated if so agreed by the committee.
Membership:
The meetings shall be made of –
1 – Executive Manager, Road Service or a delegated officer
2 - Primary Patrol Delegates
3 - Workplace Health and Safety Patrol Representatives
4 - Road Service Team Managers
Other parties may be invited to join meetings at the request of the committee. This is not limited to Road Service personnel.
The committee shall determine and nominate a member to complete minutes on each meeting. The minutes are to be agreed to by all parties at the end of the meeting, prior to circulation.
The minutes will be made available to all parties of interest and will be made available on the Intranet once this is operational.
Meetings:
Meetings will be scheduled on a bi-monthly basis, or more frequently as agreed by the committee on a needs basis. An agenda will be made available at least two days prior to a meeting following input from attendees.
As part of the meeting minutes, the date, time and venue of the next scheduled meeting will be determined and agreed.
Resources:
Attendees are encouraged to participate in as many committee meetings as possible. Attendance at such meetings is treated as a work activity and accordingly, unless by consent, attendance during leave and non-rostered times will not be expected.
Protocol:
The spirit and intent of the committee is to work together in a constructive and non-adversarial manner in an attempt to reach mutually agreeable outcomes.
The committee will agree guidelines for conduct during the meetings. These can be established at the inaugural meeting and a copy provided to all parties.
The committee shall respect the rights of each party in their endeavours to best represent the views and obligations of the organisation and parties whom they represent.
Appendix B PART –TIME EMPLOYMENT
S1.1 Intent
The purpose and intent of part-time employment is to:
(a) provide an additional employment status option, available to new and existing Patrol Officers;
(b) provide flexibility to meet member demand;
(c) complement the full-time workforce.
S1.2 Part-time employment - general
S1.2.1 The implementation of part-time employment is not designed to provide the Club with a vehicle to force change in employment status to existing Patrol Officers. As such, no full-time Patrol Officers will be required to convert to part-time employment, or to be made redundant by the engagement of part-time Patrol Officers.
S1.2.2 The number of part-time Patrol Officers will not exceed 20% of the number of full-time Patrol Officers.
S1.2.3 The Club is committed to maintaining the same high standards of selection as with full-time Patrol Officers and hence, the introduction of part-time Patrol Officers is not intended to establish a different or lower standard of selection criteria. The preferred standard is suitable trade qualification or relevant industry experience.
S1.2.4 Full-time Patrol Officers who choose to consider part-time employment will be considered primary candidates for any vacant position.
S1.2.5 Part-time Patrol Officers will be employed under this Agreement. The agreement conditions shall apply where the provisions of the Schedule do not amplify conditions. The provisions of this Schedule shall prevail to the extent of any inconsistency.
S1.3 Contract of employment
S1.3.1 Part-time Patrol Officers shall be engaged on the following terms:
(a) A part-time Patrol Officer means a Patrol Officer who is engaged to work on pre-determined days of the week for a regular number of hours, being more than 10 but less than 30 hours per week over an agreed roster cycle. Except, as provided, all conditions provided for permanent full-time Patrol Officers shall apply to part-time Patrol Officers.
(b) Part-time Patrol Officers shall be paid an hourly rate equal to 1/38th of the weekly base rate prescribed by this Agreement for the classification under which they are engaged.
(c) Part-time Patrol Officers shall be entitled to receive pro rata entitlements to annual leave, public holidays, sick leave, bereavement leave, family leave and long service leave, in accordance with the provisions contained in this Agreement.
(d) Part-time Patrol Officers shall be entitled to the provisions prescribed for full-time Patrol Officers under the provisions of this Agreement in respect of termination of employment, introduction of changes, and redundancy.
S1.4 Public holidays
S1.4.1 Part-time Patrol Officers who are rostered to work on a public holiday will receive normal time plus public holiday loading of 150% of normal time.
S1.4.2 Part-time Patrol Officers who are not rostered to work on a public holiday have that day off and do not receive payment for that shift.
S1.4.3 The Club shall, except under unforeseen circumstances, give each part-time Patrol Officer not less than 14 days' notice as to whether a holiday is to be observed or worked. If the Patrol Officer who is rostered to work is not required to work, they will be paid ordinary time for that shift.
S1.5 Hours of work
S1.5.1 One ordinary shift per day with a minimum of 3 ordinary hours per shift per day, up to a maximum of 8 ordinary hours per shift per day may be worked.
S1.5.2 The hours of each ordinary shift will be worked consecutively except for meal breaks and rest breaks.
S1.5.3 Part-time Patrol Officers must work a minimum of 10 ordinary hours and a maximum of 30 ordinary hours per week.
S1.5.4 Ordinary hours, including shiftwork, can be performed between 0600 hours and 2300 hours, Monday to Sunday.
S1.6 Rosters
S1.6.1 An agreed pattern of hours will be developed between the Club and the individual part-time Patrol Officers, with delegate representation encouraged. This pattern of hours may be changed by mutual agreement. A copy of the roster will be posted with the joint consultative committee.
S1.6.2 Roster reviews will be conducted every 3 months in respect to pattern of hours, based on leave schedules/work volumes and individual needs with 6 weeks notification of any change of roster. A part-time Patrol Officer will have at least one weekend off in every 4 week cycle incorporated into the roster.
S1.6.3 The Club acknowledges its responsibility to Patrol Officers to maintain an appropriate balance of working and family time. Therefore, to ensure that staff can plan family and social activities, all efforts are made by Road Service Management to develop flexibility with rostering that accommodates Patrol Officer needs while maintaining appropriate staffing levels.
S1.6.4 Failing agreement, Part 2 Grievance and Dispute Handling Procedure of the Agreement will be invoked. This procedure must be completed within 14 days or the new roster will apply.
S1.7 Overtime
S1.7.1 A part-time Patrol Officer who works in excess of their agreed number of hours or outside of their agreed pattern of hours shall be paid overtime in accordance with clause 8.8 Overtime of this Agreement.
S1.7.2 The offer of overtime will be mutually agreed between both parties with start point allowance paid if called out on overtime.
S1.8 Meal breaks
S1.8.1 Part-time Patrol Officers shall be entitled to meal breaks in accordance with Part 9 Meal Breaks of this Agreement. A part-time Patrol Officer engaged on shiftwork, who is rostered for more than 4.5 hours, is entitled to a paid meal break of 30 minutes' duration which will commence within the 3rd hour and the 4.5th hour.
S1.8.2 If the part-time Patrol Officer's rostered hours are between 4.5 and 5 hours' duration, a meal break will, at the patrol's discretion, be provided or payment will be made in lieu thereof.
S1.8.3 A part-time Patrol Officer is not entitled to a meal break if the rostered ordinary hours are less than 4.5 hours.
S1.8.4 Meal breaks for part-time Patrol Officers will be taken at the designated start and finish points as agreed.
S1.9 Patrol grading and progression
S1.9.1 Patrol grading and progression will be based on the accrual of 1700 hours of ordinary time worked and the achievement of agreed performance standards.
S1.10 Training days
S1.10.1 Training will be the same as for full-time patrols. Time for training will be factored into their ordinary rostered hours.
S1.11 Shift allowance
S1.11.1 Part-time Patrol Officers engaged on shift work shall be paid a shift allowance as follows:
(a) For shifts worked between 0700 hours and 1800 hours, Monday to Friday, no shift allowance is payable; and
(b) For shifts starting before 0700 hours or finishing after 1800 hours, the Patrol Officer shall be paid 15% more than their ordinary rate; and
(c) For all work performed on Saturday, the Patrol Officer shall be paid time and a-half for the first 2 hours and double time thereafter; and
(d) For all work performed on Sunday, the Patrol Officer shall be paid double-time.
S1.12 Start and finish points
S1.12.1 Given that part-time shifts will generally be shorter than that of full-time Patrol Officers, the Club seeks to maximise the on-road service delivery of part-time Patrol Officers through the provision of designated start locations, which may be other than home locations.
S1.12.2 Part-time Patrol Officers who start and finish at a designated location other than home will receive an allowance, which recognizes the need for part-time Patrol Officers who may need to carry tools and equipment to that location.
S1.12.3 Should a part-time Patrol Officer convert to full-time employment, they will be deemed to be a new employee only for the purpose of designating start and finish points.
S1.12.4 Part-time Patrol Officers shall be paid a start-point allowance of $17.17 per shift where the Patrol Officer is:
(a) required to start and or finish at a location other than their home address; and
(b) the Patrol Officer is required to drive their own vehicle to these points.
This payment will increase in line with wage increases of this agreement.
