WHAT TO EXPECT before training
- An email from our lovely Admin Officer Masika, confirming the training and asking you a couple of questions about dietary and relief requirements.
- A confirmation email from Masika, confirming your details and attendance.
- You will need to let your manager know that you will be out for the whole day. You don’t need to seek permission, it is a requirement to attend training as part of your AEU Rep role.
- Masika will communicate all of the information to your employer.
- Relief payment is covered for you for the day, if it is your usual work day. This is an agreement between your union and your employer. Reimbursement will be sent to your SBM after trainingoccurs. This allows for if there is a last minute change and you are unable to attend.
- We will see you on the day 🙂
