Rostering Issues at Austin Pathology |

 |
Austin Pathology has notified a dispute to the AIRC over the restructuring of afternoon shifts in microbiology. Management want to roster scientists 5 afternoons in a row, while the scientists want to retain the status quo, under which scientists work one afternoon shift in a fortnight. This provides flexibility in taking ADOs and in rostering annual leave, and allows scientists to easily deal with family or personal responsibilities by swapping shifts. Despite the MSAV and its members offering solutions to management on a without prejudice basis, which would eliminate the change of shift allowance and the need to invoke the rest break provision after oncall, and despite management stating over and over at every meeting on the subject that they ‘won’t die in a ditch’ over the 5 night roster, the matter is off to the Commission. The ditch is starting to look very crowded.
