Newcastle EA Update

The Fair Work Commission has approved the EA that Newcastle members voted on. This EA will come into effect this coming Monday 26 September 2022.

We can also confirm that backpay will be paid by Friday 30 September outside the current payroll. 

KDH is unable to split the backpay into two parts as they have already closed off the 2021-2022 Financial Year. In this case, backpay will be given in one instalment starting from late November 2021. This 3% backpay will also be applied to any superannuation contributions paid after November 2021.

If you haven’t received your backpay by 30 September, please see your local delegate.
