Sharing Gains from Productivity Improvement Sample Clauses

Sharing Gains from Productivity Improvement. The parties accept that there is no precise formula for the sharing of gains from productivity improvements, but in any agreement, in addition to employee benefits, there must be a clear and specific return to Funder/Owners, employer/health services and/or the Government. Productivity improvements may be related to work practices or arrangements, subject to acceptance that where capital expenditure requires changes in work methods and/or the number of employees and the changes are of a nature that enhances the investment, it shall qualify as a productivity improvement, provided that there is a net quantifiable benefit to the employer/health service. Agreements should not rely primarily on improvements which are merely the result of new technology or financial reforms or other such initiatives. For example, in the case of capital investment (technology), changes arising from capital expenditure, for which the employer/health service takes the risk and which require a reasonable return on the funds invested, do not necessarily count as a productivity improvement. The treatment of improved efficiency arising from major capital expenditure is to be agreed by the parties to each employer/health service agreement and shall take into account factors such as the cost of capital. Where employees repackage or exchange employment conditions, all or most of the saving or productivity improvement made by the employer/health service can be returned to the employees.
