New (Modern) Awards and National Employment Standards

The new Children’s Services Award 2010 and Clerks - Private Sector Award 2010 came into effect on 1st January 2010.  These Modern Awards cover all employees of children’s services in SA who were formerly covered by NAPSAs, although rates of pay will not be affected until 1st July, 2010.

The Modern Awards operate in conjunction with the new National Employment Standards (NES).  The NES are minimum standards for:

  • Maximum weekly hours
  • Requests for flexible working arrangements
  • Parental leave
  • Annual leave
  • Personal/carers and compassionate leave
  • Community service leave
  • Long service leave
  • Public holidays
  • Notice of termination and redundancy pay
  • Fair Work Information Statement

Copies of the Children’s Services Award 2010, Clerks - Private Sector Award 2010 and National Employment Standards (NES) can be downloaded from the Fair Work Australia website (www.fwa.gov.au).  More information about the new system is available from the Fair Work Online website (www.fairwork.gov.au).

Services covered by the SA State Award
Services which were not operating under NAPSAs prior to 1st January 2010 may still be covered by the SA State Award (until 1st January 2011). For more information go to the SafeWork SA website http://www.safework.sa.gov.au/show_page.jsp?id=8435  and scroll down to State Awards.  This section explains that existing state awards will continue through 2010 and then transition to Modern Awards from 1st January 2011.

However, even if your employees are covered by a state award between now and 1st January 2011 you need to be aware that National Employment Standards (NES) will apply as well as your award.   The NES are minimum required standards for employees.  It is important to check the NES to ensure that your employees are not being disadvantaged.

Network SA EXtra

From 2010, all Network SA Extra renewals will fall due on 31st July each year. 

Currently, if you first became a member in October of one year, then your subscription would be due for renewal in October each year thereafter. 

As the new renewal date is being phased in, memberships will be charged on a monthly basis instead of an annual basis. 

Therefore, instead of being billed for the annual rate of $330.75 per annum, your invoice for this period only will be for the months remaining until 31st July 2010
