Training and development program on the Health Professionals and Support Services Award 2020 [MA000027] (HPSS Award)
The HPSS Award is both an industry and occupational award outlining the minimum terms and conditions of employment for a wide range of health professionals and support staff.
Non-compliance with the HPSS Award exposes employers to the risk of costly back payments, penalties, general protections breaches and even serious criminal charges for intentional underpayment.
Changes to the HPSS Award
Following the Fair Work Commission’s (FWC) recent review of pay equity and gender-based undervaluation in in female-dominated industries, the HPSS Award has been identified for changes that will likely carry significant cost implications, especially for organisations dependent on government funding.
It's important to mitigate the risk of an award breach by keeping track of changes to your employer obligations under the HPSS Award and updating your systems and protocols.
