The Commissioner for Public Employment has made an offer for a new workplace agreement for NTPS staff.
The offer failed to address the concerns raised by NTPS staff in our recent survey.
The Government's offer
The current offer is 10% over three years. That's less than 3.5% per year. It's also less than the current rate of CPI for the Territory. While there are some smaller gains in flexible working arrangements, there is very little for Professional employees. There is also a reduction in casual loading, from 25% to 20%.
Initial feedback from members
The pay offer does not come anywhere near our claim of 6% per annum
The pay offer does not keep up with the rising costs of living in the Territory
It does not keep up with other public sector standards, currently averaging 4.2% per annum
