RECOMMENDATION TO COMMITTEE

That the staff establishment report by the Manager Human Resources as at 8 April 2003 be RECEIVED.

REPORT PURPOSE

To provide Council with staff figures for the period covering:

· position vacancies
· total number of employees
· movements within staff establishment
· staff turnover
· number of casuals employed
· number of consultants
· update on the status of various Enterprise Bargaining Agreements

BACKGROUND

The establishment figures for all City of Stirling employees as at 8 April 2003 are submitted as a separate attachment.

Of particular note is the finalisation of the Mechanical Workshop Enterprise Bargaining Agreement which was the subject of negotiation over a prolonged period. The major benefit of the Enterprise Bargaining Agreement is the extension of the late shift which will enable plant and vehicles to be serviced outside of normal operating hours. This arrangement will bring the City's workshop into line with the private sector and will result in significant reduced plant and vehicle downtime.
