QH payroll debacle
|
The QNU has allocated all available resources to assist members employed by Queensland Health who contact us with problems under the department’s new payroll system, which was rolled out in March. While Queensland Health (QH) advises that priority will still be given to correcting problems for staff who have not been paid or have been significantly underpaid, the full resources of the QNU will continue to be used to ensure all members receive their correct entitlements. Please complete our Member Request or Assistance form if you would like the QNU to escalate your pay error/s (since 24 March 2010) with Queensland Health. |
