Workers temporarily filling a role at higher duties or classification have a range of conditions applied across sectors and employers, often with a high level of discretion. The same job, same pay principle, which formed recent legislation and goes closely to Labor’s values, would indicate that all workers performing equivalent duties be fully remunerated for their work.
General Resolution
Promoting the same job, same pay principle for temporary duties assigned
Conference welcomes federal Labor's policy progress from a same job, same pay principle, and calls on the ACT and federal Labor Governments to: - Consider how this principle applies to workers temporarily filling a role at a higher classification or with additional responsibilities; - In line with Labor's values, promote the importance to this circumstance of a same job, same pay basis, where workers are paid fully in line with others performing equivalent work, across hours worked in a role.
