Common use of PRODUCTIVITY AND PERFORMANCE Clause in Contracts

PRODUCTIVITY AND PERFORMANCE. 5.16 It is essential that the productivity potential from new work practices is realised in areas such as rostering, cross-stream reporting, team based working and the development of skills mixes, with a potential consequential effect on current payments. Better management and standardisation of annual and sick leave, and family friendly policies, including flexitime, will be necessary to manage continuity of service and peak demands and to effect pay bill savings. Other flexibility is possible through eliminating demarcation (e.g. Litter inspectors would be required to provide remedial works where appropriate). The “Main Trade Makes Good” Agreement would be fully leveraged to support this flexibility.
