New pay model on its way for QueenslandQueensland nurses are advised to check their payment summaries as pay bungle continues. Queensland Health workers will be paid under a local pay model from September as the government struggles to fix its sick payroll system. Premier Anna Bligh announced the move after a damning report by Auditor-General Glenn Poole on the bungled rollout of the system, which has left thousands incorrectly paid. He found the project team gave the green light for the system's rollout, despite knowing about its defects and being warned it had not been properly tested.

the pay debarcle is a disgrace and I urge any QH employee to check their group d=certificates as there are also discrepancies with salary sacrifice details and payroll deductions. Income totals on my group certificates do not reflect what my pay should have been but the incorrect payments i have received. A glossy brochure was dent to me last week that is supposed to describe my 2010 tax. the jargon used is thick with rhetoric but does not identify if there will be any negotiation with the tax office when my pay is finally corrected. That means that my tax could be wrong in 2011 due to the Fringe Benefit calculation for my salary sacrifice. MORE PROBLEMS!

I would like to challenge the premise and expectation that nurses should be keeping detailed records of their wages. Firstly, we are able to keep detailed records of hours worked and we are able to keep detailed records of our payslips. Secondly,nurses find it quite difficult to understand the complexity of our payslips and the process of applying penalties.Thirdly and finally, NURSING is our core business and skill set. I appreciate the extra work that payroll and human resources have had to undertake. However, I do not think that our under-resourced nurses should be requested to undertake a position of vigilance in regard to our income.
