1.  Definitions

 

Unless the context otherwise indicates or requires the several expressions hereunder defined shall have their respective meaning assigned to them:

 

"ADA" means the adjusted daily average of occupied beds calculated in accordance with the following formula:

 

ADA =

Daily Average + Neo-natal Adjustment + Non-inpatient Adjustment

 

 

Where:

 

 

 

Daily =

Total Occupied Bed Days for Period Less Unqualified Baby Bed Days

Average

Number of Days in the Period

 

 

Neo-natal =

 

Total Bed Days of Unqualified Babies for the Period

 

Adjustment

2 x Number of Days in the Period

 

 

Non inpatient =

 

Total NIOOS Equivalents for the Period

 

Adjustment

10 x Number of Days in the Period

 

Note:  Total NIOOS Equivalents for the Period equals the individual NIOOS plus the equivalent number of Group NIOOS (Non-inpatient Group Sessions x 1.3) plus the equivalent number of Dental NIOOS (Non-inpatient Dental Flow x 3.8)

 

"Employer" means the Secretary of the Ministry of Health exercising employer functions on behalf of the Government of New South Wales.

 

"Union" means the Health Services Union NSW and, in relation to Medical Officers, Career Medical Officers, and Medical Superintendents only, the Health Services Union NSW and the Australian Salaried Medical Officers' Federation (New South Wales).

 

2.  Salaries

 

Full-time employees shall be paid the salaries as set out in Table 1 of Part B, Monetary Rates, of this Award.

 

3.  Salary Sacrifice to Superannuation

 

(i)        Notwithstanding the salaries prescribed in clause 2, Salaries, as varied from time to time, an employee may elect, subject to the agreement of the employee’s employer, to sacrifice a part or all of the salary payable under the salaries clause to additional employer superannuation contributions. Such election must be made prior to the commencement of the period of service to which the earnings relate. The amount sacrificed together with any salary packaging arrangements under clause 6, Salary Packaging, of this Award may be made up to one hundred (100) per cent of the salary payable under the salaries clause, or up to one hundred (100) per cent of the currently applicable superannuable salary, whichever is the lesser.

 

In this clause, ‘superannuable salary’ means the employee’s salary as notified from time to time to the New South Wales public sector superannuation trustee corporations.

 

(ii)      Any pre-tax and post-tax payroll deductions must be taken into account prior to determining the amount of available salary to be packaged. Such payroll deductions may include but are not limited to superannuation payments, HECS payments, child support payments, judgement debtor/garnishee orders, union fees and private health fund membership fees.

 

(iii)     Where the employee has elected to sacrifice a part or all of the available payable salary to additional employer superannuation contributions:

 

(a)       The employee shall be provided with a copy of the signed agreement. The salary sacrifice agreement shall be terminated at any time at the employee’s election and shall cease upon termination of the employee’s services with the employer.

 

(b)       Subject to Australian taxation law, the amount of salary sacrificed will reduce the salary subject to appropriate PAYE taxation deductions by the amount sacrificed; and

 

(c)       Any allowance, penalty rate, overtime, payment for unused leave entitlements, weekly workers’ compensation, or other payment, other than any payment for leave taken in service, to which an employee is entitled under the relevant Award or any applicable Award, Act, or statute which is expressed to be determined by reference to an employee’s salary, shall be calculated by reference to the salary which would have applied to the employee under the salaries clause of the relevant Award in the absence of any salary sacrifice to superannuation made under this Award.

 

(iv)     The employee may elect to have the specified amount of payable salary which is sacrificed to additional employer superannuation contributions:

 

(a)       paid into the superannuation scheme established under the First State Superannuation Act 1992 as optional employer contributions; or

 

(b)       subject to the employer’s agreement, paid into a private sector complying superannuation scheme as employer superannuation contributions.

 

(v)       Where an employee elects to salary sacrifice in terms of subclause (iv) above, the employer will pay the sacrificed amount into the relevant superannuation fund.

 

(vi)     Where the employee is a member of a superannuation scheme established under:

 

(a)       the Police Regulation (Superannuation) Act 1906;

 

(b)       the Superannuation Act 1916;

 

(c)       the State Authorities Superannuation Act 1987;

 

(d)       the State Authorities Non-contributory Superannuation Act 1987; or

 

(e)       the First State Superannuation Act 1992.

 

The employee’s employer must ensure that the amount of any additional employer superannuation contributions specified in subclause (i) above is included in the employee’s superannuable salary which is notified to the New South Wales public sector superannuation trustee corporations.

 

(vii)    Where, prior to electing to sacrifice a part or all of their salary to superannuation, an employee had entered into an agreement with their employer to have superannuation contributions made to a superannuation fund other than a fund established under legislation listed in subclause (vi) above, the employer will continue to base contributions to that fund on the salary payable under clause 2, Salaries, to the same extent as applied before the employee sacrificed that amount of salary to superannuation. This clause applies even though the superannuation contributions made by the employer may be in excess of the superannuation guarantee requirements after the salary sacrifice is implemented.

 

4.  Conditions of Service

 

(i)        The Public Hospitals (Professional and Associated Staff) Conditions of Employment (State) Award 2018, as varied or replaced from time to time, shall apply to all persons covered by this Award.

 

(ii)      Conditions of employment relevant to a classification(s) identified within an Award listed in Part C, shall apply.

 

(iii)     Where inconsistency exists between the conditions provided by this clause, subclause (ii) shall apply.

 

5.  Dispute Resolution

 

The dispute resolution procedures contained in the Public Hospitals (Professional and Associated Staff) Conditions of Employment (State) Award 2018, as varied or replaced from time to time, shall apply.

 

6.  Salary Packaging

 

(i)        By agreement with their employer, employees may elect to package part or all of their salary in accordance with this clause, to obtain a range of benefits as set out in the NSW Health Policy Directive 2018_044 Salary Packaging, as amended from time to time. Such election must be made prior to the commencement of the period of service to which the earnings relate. Where an employee also elects to salary sacrifice to superannuation under this Award, the combined amount of salary packaging/sacrificing may be up to 100 per cent of salary.

 

Any salary packaging above the fringe benefit exemption cap will attract fringe benefits tax as described in subclause (iv) below.

 

(ii)      Where an Employee Elects to Package an Amount of Salary:

 

(a)       Subject to Australian taxation law, the packaged amount of salary will reduce the salary subject to PAYE taxation deductions by that packaged amount.

 

(b)       Any allowance, penalty rate, overtime payment, payment for unused leave entitlements, weekly workers’ compensation, or other payment other than any payment for leave taken in service, to which an employee is entitled under this Award or statute which is expressed to be determined by reference to an employee’s salary, shall be calculated by reference to the salary which would have applied to the employee under this Award in the absence of any salary packaging or salary sacrificing made under this Award.

 

(c)       ‘Salary’ for the purpose of this clause, for superannuation purposes, and for the calculation of Award entitlements, shall mean the Award salary as specified in clause 2, Salaries, and which shall include ‘approved employment benefits’ which refer to fringe benefit savings, administration costs, and the value of packaged benefits.

 

(iii)     Any pre-tax and post-tax payroll deductions must be taken into account prior to determining the amount of available salary to be packaged. Such payroll deductions may include but are not limited to superannuation payments, HECS payments, child support payments, judgement debtor/garnishee orders, union fees, and private health fund membership fees.

 

(iv)     The salary packaging scheme utilises a fringe benefit taxation exemption status conferred on public hospitals and local health districts, which provides for a fringe benefit tax exemption cap of $17,000 per annum. The maximum amount of fringe benefits-free tax savings that can be achieved under the scheme is where the value of benefits when grossed-up, equal the fringe benefits exemption cap of $17,000. Where the grossed-up value exceeds the cap, the employer is liable to pay fringe benefits tax on the amount in excess of $17,000, but will pass this cost on to the employee. The employer’s share of savings, the combined administration cost, and the value of the package benefits, are deducted from pre-tax dollars.

 

(v)       The parties agree that the application of the fringe benefits tax exemption status conferred on public hospitals and local health districts is subject to prevailing Australian taxation laws.

 

(vi)     If an employee wishes to withdraw from the salary packaging scheme, the employee may only do so in accordance with the required period of notice as set out in the NSW Health Policy Directive 2018_044 Salary Packaging.

 

(vii)    Where an employee ceases to salary package, arrangements will be made to convert the agreed package amount to salary. Any costs associated with the conversion will be borne by the employee, and the employer shall not be liable to make up any salary lost as a consequence of the employee’s decision to convert to salary.

 

(viii)   Employees accepting the offer to salary package do so voluntarily. Employees are advised to seek independent financial advice and counselling to apprise them of the implications of salary packaging on their individual personal financial situations.

 

(ix)     The employer and the employee shall comply with the procedures set out in the NSW Health Policy Directive 2018_044 Salary Packaging, as amended from time to time.

 

7.  No Extra Claims

 

Other than as provided for in the Industrial Relations Act 1996 and the Industrial Relations (Public Sector Conditions of Employment) Regulation 2014, there shall be no further claims/demands or proceedings instituted before the Industrial Relations Commission of New South Wales for extra or reduced wages, salaries, rates of pay, allowances or conditions of employment with respect to the employees covered by the Award that take effect prior to 30 June 2020 by a party to this Award.

 

8.  Area, Incidence and Duration

 

(i)        This Award takes effect from 1 July 2019 and shall remain in force for a period of one year. The rates and allowances in the second column in Table 1 of Part B - Monetary Rates will apply from the first full pay period on or after (ffppoa) 1 July 2019.

 

(ii)      This Award rescinds and replaces the Health Professional and Medical Salaries (State) Award 2018 published 5 July 2019 (384 I.G. 647) and all variations thereof.

 

(iii)     This Award shall apply to persons employed in classifications contained herein employed in the New South Wales Health Service under s115(1) of the Health Services Act 1997, or their successors, assignees or transmittees.
