The union said that there have been “serious” problems with CBA’s pay system across its businesses.
FSU WA local executive secretary Dianne Marshall said it was unfair for bank workers to receive no detail about their backpay and Bankwest needed to rectify the problem quickly or risk further anger among its staff.
“It’s bad enough to make serious errors in workers’ pay, but the impact is being made worse by Bankwest trying to tell its staff to trust that the bank has now calculated the backpay correctly,” Ms Marshall said.
“All Bankwest staff need is to be given a full accounting of how their backpay was calculated.
“Bankwest and the CBA have made such a mess of their payroll system that bank workers can’t be expected to trust that the latest calculations are right, and they need to be able to make their own checks.”
Ms Marshall said the FSU had called for a meeting with CBA over the matter.
