Estia Health have recently advised HSU members that management are proposing changes to role titles, annualised wages, and time recording.

The proposals include:

1. Changing the ‘Cleaner and Laundry Attendant’ title to ‘Housekeeper’ and Changing the ‘Executive Chef/ Head Cook title to ‘Head Chef’.
2. Transferring any enterprise agreement covered employees who are contracted on an annualised wage to hourly rates based on their current earnings.
3. Introducing a clock-in and clock-out process on the Humanforce platform.

A copy of the memo is attached at this link.

Estia Health management have put in writing to HSU members that no employee will be left disadvantaged by these changes.

Consultation is an important workplace right. Your EA states that management must notify you, discuss, invite, and consider all relevant information and matters before implementing the change.

You have the right to:

• Be notified in writing what impact the change may have on you
• Have time to consider any proposed changes
• Ask questions or raise concerns, including refusing the change and/or offering alternative suggestions.
• Be represented by the HSU at any meeting to discuss the change.

All HSU members are encouraged to contact their organiser if you have any questions or would like to be represented at any meetings.

We can only represent HSU members during this process.
