The Splinter (Interim) Award was awarded on April 14, 2020 by the NSW Industrial Relations Commission. It is valid for 12 months and applies in addition to the Existing distinction and individual corporate agreements of the Commission. “Councils can determine how the work is best done based on people`s skills, availability and location and on the basis of an assessment of the work available, where and for how long.

USU Secretary General Graeme Kelly OAM said the agreement was aimed at saving jobs and providing financial security to local government workers facing the dramatic consequences of the current pandemic.

The newly ratified agreement includes other flexible work arrangements such as unpaid leave, additional annual leave, four out of five years and home work.
