Common use of CONTRACTING OUT OF WORK Clause in Contracts

CONTRACTING OUT OF WORK. Use of contractor services will be discussed under the consultative mechanisms established under this Agreement, prior to implementation. TransGrid does not intend to use contractors to reduce the utilisation of current permanent employees engaged in core work. TransGrid maintains the right to use bona fide contractors, in any of the following circumstances: a) where specific expertise is required and/or peak workloads cannot be met by TransGrid’s workforce including reasonable overtime; b) where failure to complete work in a reasonable time would jeopardise the safety of the public or impact adversely upon network or system performance; c) where the use of contractors represents the most commercially advantageous option, taking into consideration quality, occupational health and safety and the overall strategic direction of TransGrid. Where a proposal for outsourcing of core work is considered by TransGrid, then employees covered by this Agreement will be given an opportunity to demonstrate how internal efficiencies can match an external benchmark. Employees who are affected by such proposals shall be given reasonable time relevant to the proposal, and given appropriate access to relevant information, subject to the confidentiality of such information, so that they can prepare their submissions. TransGrid will consider alternate proposals including whether work could be done by employees utilising their current skills and competencies. When a decision is made by TransGrid to contract out work TransGrid will take into consideration: (i) the contractor’s established quality, health and safety, environmental systems to a level commensurate with the standards TransGrid expects and in accordance with governing legislation; (ii) the contractor’s values, behaviours and ethics; and (iii) the contractor’s compliance with regulatory, statutory and industrial obligations. All parties acknowledge that it is not the intent of this clause that parties will seek to alter or reassess arrangements already in place.
