I am employed on a permanent part-time basis at a Healthscope facility. I regularly work more than my contracted hours. Can my contract be changed to reflect the hours that I work?
Yes. Clause 24(xi) of the
Healthscope – NSWNMA/ANMD
- NSW Nurses’ and Midwives’
- Enterprise Agreement 2020- 2024 provides that a part-time employee can request that their hours be reviewed annually.
Where the employee is regularly working more than their contracted hours, it may be agreed that the contracted hours will
be adjusted to reflect the hours regularly worked. However, adjustments to contracted hours will not be made in circumstances where the additional hours are being worked to replace other staff who are absent on leave or are the result of a temporary increase in hours – for example, for the specific needs of a patient.
