Hello Lottie,

I have a received a message that the holiday hours for 280 hour work was indeed meant to read as 28 hours. It has been amended in the handbook now. Because the issue about sick pay is part of a larger review of processes, I am going to close this You Make Change and instead update students down the line when I know more about the improvement project. 

Thank you!

Hello Lottie,

I have received word from the work experience team that they are looking into the wording in the handbook about annual leave, and will get back to me as soon as possible. From their perspective they are not looking at changing sick pay currently, mostly because this depends a lot on the causal pay and pay roll team.

For this reason, I am going to continue to lobby Wendy Appleby, VP Operations, to consider reviewing internships and UniWorkForce overall; as currently the Human Resources Teams do not have the resources to make such a change internally. 

Thank you,

Emily

Hello Lottie,

Thank you for the submission. I have raised the issue with the work experience team, and will update you when I receive a reply. I also mentioned this to VP Operations, Wendy Appleby and how we could re-think how we offer work experience to students, as part of her strategic plan. 

Thanks, 

Emily
