Aruma's new options on the table

Your Unions negotiating representatives bring you the latest update on the ongoing Aruma Enterprise Agreement talks. Here's what's happening and how it affects you:

Aruma’s Revised Claims: Exploring New Options

Here’s Aruma’s two options for consideration:

Option 1:

Align QLD staff's sleepover allowance with NSW's, currently at 3.5 hours (compared to QLD's fixed 4.9% of the weekly wage).

Trade-off: QLD arvo and night shift allowances (currently 5% higher than NSW and ACT) and lose 25% Saturday shift loading to match NSW rates.

Grandfather existing staff to the new rates; new staff to work off SCHADS award rates.

Option 2:

Maintain all current QLD shift rates and sleepover allowances.

New staff to work off SCHADS rates for sleepovers, nights, arvos, and Saturday shift loadings.

Grandfather existing staff under current provisions.
