Awards and Agreements

We’re dedicated to attracting and retaining the best people through a number of initiatives including compensation incentives and employment benefits.

Fair Work standards

We are an equal opportunity employer, employing on the basis of values and role requirements matched to qualifications, skills and experience. Some of the key legislation relevant to how we do business and engage with our people includes:

These agreements govern the employee / employer relationship in Australia and provide a safety net of minimum entitlements, enabling flexible working arrangements and fairness at work to prevent discrimination against employees.

The below information may also be of relevance to your role:

Remuneration

Remuneration is set in line with the relevant award or agreement. For non-award positions, the remuneration is set by People Experience. Please refer to the Remuneration Policy (QD 5242) or contact your People and Wellbeing Partner for more information.

Leaders have a responsibility to ensure processes are managed while on leave. This includes approving leave applications for teams. Prior to going on leave, leaders are required to allocate delegations through PeopleSoft.

Casual employment

Following a recent change to legislation, eligible casual employees will be able to use the new employee choice pathway in the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) to request conversion to permanent employment.

Under the new pathway, a casual employee can give written notice to their employer to request convert to permanent employment if they have:

been employed for at least 6 months; and
they believe they no longer meet the requirements of the new casual employee definition.

In keeping with the new definition of “casual employee” introduced into the Fair Work Act, an employment relationship is considered casual if:

the employment relationship is characterised by an absence of a firm advance commitment to continuing and indefinite work; and
the employee would be entitled to a casual loading or a specific rate of pay for casual employees.

As an employee, if you believe that you meet the criteria, please speak with your leader for further information.

Information for leaders – employees requesting conversion to permanent employment

As a leader, if you receive a request from your team member to convert to a permanent status, please review eligibility requirements outlined in the Casual Conversion Leader Guide.

If you are approving this request, please submit an Employment Status/Hours request change via the #TeamPossible Support Hub.
