About employees
All employees of the bulk water authorities and local council employees who spend 100% of their time on water and sewerage services will be transferred to the new corporations.
Other Council employees who spend time on water and sewerage services may be invited to consider transferring, subject to negotiations between the General Manager and the Corporation CEO.
All transferred employees are guaranteed to transfer with no-detriment for 12 months. In other words, their current conditions will be honoured for 12 months before agreements or contracts are renewed.
It is anticipated that the reform of the industry will create exciting employment opportunities, both for those currently in the industry and others considering it in the future.
