The Public Service Agreement (PSA) 2024-2026 provides for a local bargaining provision where employers and trade unions/associations may negotiate additional changes in rates of pay and/or conditions of employment.
In terms of the possible reintroduction of this allowance, this is one of the matters that may come under consideration under the local bargaining provision of the PSA 2024-2026 and as matters under industrial relations processes are confidential to the parties it would not be appropriate for me to comment any further at this time.
