A new collective agreement covering
the Planning Authority's technical and
clerical grades was signed yesterday
between the in-house union, UTAC
and the Authority.
This agreement which governs the
working conditions of 254 employees
and extends to 2023, provides for im-
proved salaries and conditions whilst
ensuring stability in the workforce to
uphold the highest standards of per-
formance to which the Authority is
committed.
This agreement embraces a number
of improved and new concepts, such
as enhanced work flexibility and im-
proved leave options to provide em-
ployees with a better work-life balance,
an increased investment in training
and development and the revamping
of the performance bonus mechanism.
Following yesterday's signing, the
Planning Authority has concluded the
collective agreements for all its em-
ployees.
Last November, the Authority had
concluded the collective agreement for
PA employees in professional grades.
