APS offers 9% pay deal

Key points

• Public servants have been offered pay rises totalling 9 percent over three years. The proposal, tabled by chief negotiator Alison Stott, includes increases of 3.2 percent, 3 percent and 2.8 percent from March 2027 to March 2029.
• The Community and Public Sector Union is likely to reject the offer, which falls short of its demand of 5 percent a year. Members will now decide whether the offer is good enough.
• The government also proposes a standard 7.5-hour workday and 20 days of annual leave, changes the union says would cut conditions for some staff.
