Synopsis | The purpose of this Bill is to amend the following Acts -
the Industrial Relations Act 1979; the Public Sector Management Act 1994; the Salaries and Allowances Act 1975
to provide the capacity to implement enhanced and more flexible redeployment arrangements that may ultimately end with the involuntary severance of employees that are surplus to an agency's requirements or whose post, office or position has been abolished and cannot effectively be redeployed; and
to ensure that decisions made by the Western Australian Industrial Relations Commission (WAIRC) and the Salaries and Allowances Tribunal have appropriate regard to the Public Sector Wages Policy Statement, the State's financial position and fiscal strategy, and in relation to the WAIRC, the financial position of the relevant public sector agency. |
