I am currently working at a nursing home operated by Opal. If they want to change rosters and hours of work, what information or process can I expect?

Clause 8.10 of the Opal Aged Care (NSW) Enterprise Agreement 2016 requires the employer to notify concerned employees about any proposed changes to their rosters or ordinary hours of work. Affected employees can appoint a representative (such as the union) to participate in the consultation process.

Clause 8.13 requires all relevant information about the change, including the nature of the change to be provided, along with how the change will impact on employees. Affected employees are to be invited to give their views about the impact of the change including any impact in relation to their family or caring responsibilities.
