Waste Services Annual leave issue successfully resolved! 

Dear Greenwich Unison members

Management at waste services had tried to remove leave from members returning from long term sickness, stating that only the statuary amount of leave could be carried over, IE 20 days.

Jay Lowman our assistant branch Secretary and Elaine O’Flynn our branch chair, went through RBG’s attendance management policy in detail and could not find anything within the policy stating only 20 days of AL could be carried over after returning from long term sick.

We contacted HR and waste management stating that there was nothing in the attendance management policy regarding this issue and therefore Greenwich UNISON would support our members through the formal grievance process.

Management confirmed on Monday 25th September 2023 that they had indeed made an error and that all AL would be recalibrated to give our members their full AL entitlement.

A great win for Greenwich UNISON and our members.

RBG Overtime

We think that the Council have incorrectly paid members overtime since at least 2008.

If you are in a Scale 1-6 post (not SO1 or above) and have been paid overtime at any point over the last 6 years and want Unison to follow this up you need to complete a Case Form.

You can download one using the link below.

Alternatively, you can phone the office on 020 8921 5226 and we will post one out to you.
