Questacon - time is running out to claim your 2010 Healthy Lifestyle subsidy
11 June 2010, 10:44am
Questacon has released the final version of its Healthy Lifestyle Subsidy policy. The $150 subsidy is one of the improvements made to your working conditions this year, as a result of union members campaigning for a better agreement at Questacon.
The subsidy is to encourage staff in activities that maintain or improve
their health and wellbeing on an ongoing basis.
Can I get the subsidy?
To be eligible for the subsidy, you need to:
Have been a Questacon employee with at least 12 months continuous
service
Produce proof of purchase for items that are for the purpose of
maintaining or improving your health and wellbeing
Provide additional evidence of a commitment to a healthy lifestyle if
the item you bought was generic (for example, sneakers).
You should apply straight away, or as soon as you have an expense you want to
claim for. To be eligible for the subsidy this financial year, you need to get
your application in before 30 June 2010.
Improvements to how agreements are made meant CPSU was able to help make
important changes to the Healthy Lifestyle policy, including:
Easier to understand language that matches the wording of your
collective agreement
Removing the need to provide both a receipt and proof of a commitment to
a healthy lifestyle all in all cases
Decisions based on what a reasonable person would think.
CPSU welcomes the significant changes Questacon made in response to your
feedback.
Stronger (and healthier) together
CPSU is working to ensure the new agreement is implemented correctly and that
you have access to conditions and receive your proper entitlements. By joining
CPSU you get access to professional representation and expert advice. CPSU
membership is tiered and tax deductible.
