HPEB2 Certification and Wage increases

The Health Practitioner enterprise bargaining 2 document has been sent to the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission and the parties are awaiting a date for the certification to be set down by the Commission.

We were hoping that this date would be known this week but it appears that we will have to wait until next week to get this information.

In light of this and from conversations with Health Corporate office this would now meant that the earliest the wage increases for Health Practitioners would be paid would be November 16, 2011 although this still may be later than this depending on the date of certification.

The back payment of wages would then take place over the following pay dates.

An update will be sent to members as soon as a date has been set down for certification and as soon as dates are confirmed for wage increases and back pay.

All members should check their pay slips and the amounts of back pay to make sure that you have not been under or overpaid.Members need to be a Queensland Health Employee at the date of certification to receive all wage increases and back pay.
