Know Your Rights: Changes to The Professional Employees Award

It was fantastic to have so many union members attending the webinars on the changes to the Professional Employees Award last week.

If you missed the sessions, members can catch up in the PA member portal here.

If you attended the webinars, or have viewed them in the portal, please take 2 minutes to complete this brief survey to gauge your understanding of the changes and experiences in your workplace. Your feedback is so important as it will guide future campaigns and educational content for all union members.

As you now know, the changes came into effect on the 17th of September. You should see any reflection of those changes in your first full pay cycle after that date.

It’s critical that you know your rights under the updated Award. Being a union member means you will be armed with the necessary knowledge to identify any possible issues with implementing these changes in your workplace. You will also have your union support, expert advice, and representation if you are unfairly treated.
