- Carried as Amended
This conference believes that we should campaign to stop the practice in the voluntary and charity sector of employers contacting their employees after work and should properly compensate their employees for overtime.
We deplore that the 2020 Charity people salary survey found that employees working in the voluntary and charity sector found more people working longer hours and getting less overtime payment/compensation for their time than before. This will inevitably compromise the work/life balance for employees in the voluntary and community sector and as a result impact their mental health and wellbeing.
We call upon the Community SGE (Service Group Executive) to mount a campaign to advocate for policies that empower employees to claim compensation for their overtime and bans on employers contacting employees after working hours (expect in exceptional circumstances).
