Staffing: Government does not recognise ‘acquired rights’
|
• A review will need to be conducted to consider the staffing level, and skill mix implications of the new GBC operating and programming model.
• All jobs, grades, skills, duties, working practices, so called 'acquired rights' (which Government does not recognise) will be reviewed and reconsidered. What will emerge are new staff terms and conditions, job descriptions and pay, based on modern working practices, flexibility and multi tasking, and output and performance assessment. There must be an end of the 'job for life' culture, which so adversely affects management, discipline, standards and output. In return, staff will enjoy terms and facilities which will recognise their professional worth.
• The Government will (at its discretion) consider redundancy packages for employees whose profile skills or attitude are an obstacle to the successful future of GBC.
• Under the new GBC operating model, Management will be empowered to manage. This will be buttressed by powers of staff appraisal, discipline and dismissal.
• The new GBC operating model will make provision for the delivery of on-going training to staff.
• A Review will be conducted in relation to staff pay and condition issues.
The Government does not accept the principle of parity at GBC where responsibility and roles are not similar. The re-launch of GBC must include 'wiping the slate clean' of all historical issues.
