Professional Pharmacists
Australia (PPA) is reminding nonowner
pharmacists of their rights
regarding redundancy.
President Geoff March said
the organisation was concerned
the Guild report warning of the
potential loss of 2,200 jobs (PD 07
Apr) could be used to let staff go
and then re-hire pharmacists at a
lower wage, particularly by larger
chain pharmacies.
He said while the PPA recognised
the flawed nature of the CPA, it
encouraged pharmacists to be
aware of their rights.
“The Fair Work Act as well as the
Pharmacy Industry Award make
it very clear that redundancies
have to be legitimate and that the
process must involve consultation
and payment of entitlements if the
employer employs more than 15
people.”The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 10 Apr 14 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 10 Apr 14
