COMMISSIONER

AWA EMPLOYEES - OPTIONS

Telstra AWA options: know your rights

Telstra staff on AWAs have a new range of options now that the Telstra Enterprise Agreement 2010-2012 has been endorsed by employees.

You have the right to move onto the new union-negotiated EA if:

  • Your AWA had reached or was beyond its nominal expiry date prior to the commencement of the new agreement, and
  • You are in a part of the business covered by the agreement.

    Some areas are outside the EA because there are still non-union negotiated Employee Collective Agreements operating in them.)

    Employees currently on AWAs should be clear about their rights under the new EA and not be misled by management on this issue.

  • if/when you transfer to the EA, you are entitled to all the benefits of the EA without exception.
  • You have a choice as to whether you go onto Category 1 or Category 2 of the EA.
  • Your banding level in Category 1 of the EA is decided by the negotiated banding system. If you are working at Band 7 level you must be paid at that level.

    Members should not merely accept management's assessment of your likely banding level if they transfer to the EA. Members considering moving onto the EA should contact the CEPU for advice.

    Employees on most non-expired AWAs cannot at this stage transfer to the EA except in some field areas.
