Allison Park Industrial Relations Manager
A national wage increase of 1.75% come into effect on February 1st. relevant information will be distribut- ed to all members as soon as it is available from Fair Work Australia and I am available to assist with the implementation of this wage increase. It is expected that February may also bring some pro- gress in the upcoming Industrial Relations Reform changes across the hospitality and retail sectors. Cur- rently relevant working groups are considering key areas of change focused on award simplification, in- creased flexibility and casual employee entitlements. I would encourage every member operator to regularly and proactively consult with us to minimise business and legal risk, hence minimising the time and cost spent on issues when they arise. The THA Industrial and Employment Relations team can meet you at your business site for your conveni- ence, or support is available via phone or email or in the office at any time. I am looking forward to meeting many more of our members in the next couple of months and continu- ing to support you through 2021.
It is hard to believe that I have already enjoyed 8 weeks my role as Industrial and Employee relations manag- er role at the THA. Since returning to Hobart after many years away, it feels like I never left and it has been wonderful to reacquaint myself with the premi- um experiences in Tasmanian hospitality and discov- er the valuable additions that have recently opened in the sector. The team at the THA have been very welcoming and I am very grateful to be working with such a dedicated and energetic team who truly value the work they do in supporting the industry to thrive. I have had the opportunity to meet and talk with a number of members across quite a range of issues. I appreciate the significant and devastating impacts that have been felt by many operators over the last year and the ongoing challenges of the current skills and people shortage being experienced in the industry. I am hopeful we will soon see this gradually start to improve in the coming months and look forward to supporting you to recover and navigate these chal- lenges.
