The parties to the agreement committed to implement changes in the way the Victorian government operates and provides services by accepting the principles of “labour mobility”. The Principles recognize that the services required by the community of a modern public service are not static; they are constantly changing. The adoption of changing priorities is crucial to creating a secure and flexible employment environment in the public sector. The parties recognized the importance of ensuring that staff can be deployed in a reactive manner to support government priorities. The new Victorian State Public Service Enterprise (VPS EA) agreement was approved by the Fair Work Commission on 2 October 2020, following a series of negotiations that took place in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and significant government intervention at the federal and state levels – both in terms of stimulus measures and public health restrictions. This may be a generous result given the government`s competing priorities and the general uncertainty facing employers.
However, the counterpart is to reduce operational barriers and mobility between public service institutions and to develop and implement a competency framework to facilitate better alignment between staff competencies and the operational needs of organizations. This Directive provides guidance on Clause 15 of the VPS Agreement, which defines the categories of employment in which an employee may be hired and the obligations of employers to prioritise current forms of employment over casual and fixed-term arrangements where possible. It will be very interesting to see how the mobility regulations affect this year and for the lifetime of the EA VPS. For example, as part of the government`s short-term response to COVID-19, many VPS employees have been seconded to other agencies, for example. B, to support contact tracing efforts. Other important changes to the content of the PES EA include the expansion of paid parental leave entitlements for informal and secondary caregivers (section 55) and the introduction of “Gender Pay Equity Principles” (section 28) to strengthen reporting obligations under the Gender Equality Act, 2020 (VIC).
