REASONS FOR DECISION


[1] On 19 February 2010, the Minister administering the State Service Act 2000 (the Minister) and the Community and Public Sector Union (State Public Services Federation Tasmania) Inc. (CPSU) lodged with the Registrar, pursuant to Section 55(2) of the Industrial Relations Act 1984, the Department of Treasury and Finance Compliance Inspectors Agreement 2010.

[2] When this matter came on for hearing on 1 March 2010, Ms J Fitton appeared for the Minister with Ms J Crane, and Ms K Tyson appeared for the CPSU with Mr J McKenzie.

[3] Ms Fitton advised that this agreement reflected the significant change in work patterns for compliance inspectors resulted in a reduced requirement for work outside ordinary hours.  This included a reduction in the requirement to work public holidays.

[4] The agreement provided for a transition payment equivalent to 10 days salary together with a review of planned work arrangements at three monthly intervals.

[5] Ms Fitton said that clause 6 reflected the Departments intention to retire from the agreement at the conclusion of the period of operation.

[6] In supporting the agreement Miss Tyson noted the employers intention to retire, indicating that the impact if any on employees effected would be an uppermost consideration.

[7] I am satisfied that the agreement is consistent with the public interest requirements of the Act, and does not disadvantage the employees concerned.

[8] Pursuant to s.55[4] of the Act, the agreement is approved operative from the first full pay period on or after 1 March 2010 and shall remain in force until from the first full pay period on or after 1 June 2011.
