FSU supports Go Home On Time Day - Wednesday 25th November.
http://www.facebook.com/gohomeontimeday? ref=ts
We can all find it tricky to leave the office or finish work on time. That’s why this November 25th is national Go Home on Time Day. It’s your opportunity to postpone all those “one last thing” tasks, emails and late meetings, and leave work on time for a change. What you do next is up to you!

I work in the call centre of St George and the 4% pay increases each year are looked forward to by not only myself but the others consultants as it helps with paying the bills & with the general cost of living.Being part of the Westpac Group the 4% should be available to ALL staff members be they St George/BankSA or We...stpac it is grossly unfair & unreasonabe to have us on the STG/BSA side of the Group getting the increase but not our colleauges in Westpac,it should be given to both sides as should all our benefits we have in STG/BSA.
