Forums Category: Payroll and entitlements

Hoping to contact other agencies that have managed to figure out the new parental leave conditions to discuss the payroll and systems administration of the process.

We have the current documentation from APSC and want to make sure that we are applying the conditions consistently with other agencies. Advice I received from APSC yesterday says that they are planning on hosting focus groups in the near future, however as the process is already effective under our EA we need to have an interim process in place now.

Happy to also share our thoughts and processes as well.

Thanks in advance!

Good morning – CASA is interested to know if with any up-coming SES/Equivalents salary increases you are also including the 0.92% as well.  Straw poll of 3 agencies indicates it is a bit divided.  Any information provided will be treated in confidence.

Thank you

Australian National Maritime Museum are currently reviewing Aurion, the cost benefits of updates and whether it is more suitable for larger agencies that can use all of its capabilities.

As a smaller agency, I feel that we may need a smaller system, thus I’d be interested in what agencies are doing.

1. Is your agency currently using Aurion?
2. If you’re using anything different, what system?
3. Are you looking to move away from Aurion?

Many thanks

Regards

Just wondering if other small agencies with 250 or less employees would be able to share with me the number/make up of their HR teams i.e., headcount/FTE and classification and how many staff they supervise.

Thanks

Good Morning,

 

The AEC is reviewing our approach to managing Individual Flexibility Arrangements and we are reaching out to other agencies to see if you can share any information about how you manage requests for additional salary.

 

Any information or guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

 

Kind Regards,

Hello SAF colleagues

Australian Digital Health Agency is reviewing our Purchased Leave arrangements and related policy.

Would any agencies willing to share their Purchased Leave Policy with us (directly) or the wider SAF cohort?

Kind regards

We would like to see what other small agencies do regarding Salary Sacrifice arrangements, what they have and how they operate.

I’d love to arrange to discuss over the phone as a first step.

Thanks in advance
