The New South Wales Fire Brigades and the New South Wales Fire Brigade Employees’ Union have agreed to vary subclause 14.8 in Clause 14 – Operational Support Positions expressed in the Crown Employees (NSW Fire Brigades Firefighting Staff) Award 2005.
Application to vary this Award in the terms expressed in this In Orders will be made in the near future, however, in the interim, the following subclauses will apply on an administrative basis from the date of this In Orders.
14.8 An occupant of an Operational Support position who has not completed a minimum period of service required by Clause 13 for promotion prior to taking up that position shall not be eligible for promotion until they satisfy the requirements of this subclause.
14.8.1 Length of service for the occupants of Operational Support positions shall for the purposes of Clause 13 (only) be determined by firstly calculating the total time spent from the date of an employee’s promotion to their current substantive rank to the present day, secondly deducting the total time spent by the employee in an Operational Support position since that promotion and thirdly, then adding any additional time accrued under subclauses 14.8.2 and 14.8.3.
14.8.2 For one half of one year, or less, spent in an operational support position to count as service for the purpose of clause 13, employees must be reassigned and attached to a fire station for one block of at least 28 days where they shall perform the firefighting duties associated with their substantive rank.
14.8.3 For one entire year spent in an operational support position to count as service for the purpose of clause 13, employees must be reassigned and attached to a fire station for two separate blocks of at least 28 days each or alternatively, one block of at least 56 days where they shall perform the firefighting duties associated with their substantive rank.
14.8.4 For the purposes of this Clause, “year” shall mean the 12 month period from the date (or subsequent anniversary date) of the employee’s appointment to that Operational Support position.
14.8.5 Notwithstanding the provisions of subclause 14.8.1, all time spent in an Operational Support position prior to 1 January 2005 shall count as service for the purposes of Clause 13.
