Carer’s Leave dispute

Following a long running dispute between the Union and STA about when members can use a “Statutory Declaration” for Carer’s Leave,

the following arrangements were put in place during Industrial Relations Commission Proceedings:

“Statutory Declarations can be used for 5 days of Carer’s Leave per year, unless you are on the Absence Management Program”.

NSW IRC Commissioner Tabba will monitor these arrangements, with a “Report Back” scheduled for around three months time.  The Union

is confident of a positive final outcome.
