Ramsay: Stop delaying our dollars

Ramsay: Stop delaying our dollars

Send my email

The Fair Work Commission ruled in our favour in December 2024, finding Ramsay had been withholding annual leave payments for nurses and midwives for over six years. Yet more than 18 months later, members are still waiting for underpayments to be fixed.

What are you waiting for Ramsay?

The Commission found that Ramsay had not been correctly paying annual leave under the 2021 enterprise agreement.

When nurses and midwives took annual leave, they were entitled to both: 

  • Ordinary base rate with shift and weekend penalties
  • Annual leave loading of 17.5% (or their average of shift penalties and allowances in the last 6 months if that amount was higher). 

Instead, Ramsay was only paying the base rate on the first payment and failed to include the shift and weekend penalties.

It’s ridiculous, that 18 months later, we are still waiting for Ramsay to pay the annual leave entitlements you are owed.

Members have waited long enough.

Take action now and join us in demanding Ramsay rectify these underpayments and pay every nurse and midwife what they are owed by no later than 31 July 2026 and to stop delaying our dollars
