Attendance Taking at Workplace
There is no legal requirement that you inform the employer that you are on strike, either at the commencement of strike action or daily. You are not required to have any communication with your manager unless you’re an essential worker with an ESA letter, or you’re asked to return employer equipment.
The Federal Public Sector Labour Relations Act states that every employee is free to participate in the lawful activities of the union. In addition, the Act prohibits the employer and its managers from engaging in reprisals against employees for their exercise of rights under the Act, including their right to participate in lawful strike action.
