ANZ Fiji’s senior managers will now benefit from significantly improved leave entitlements following the signing of a landmark Collective Agreement between the Finance Sector Managers Staff Association (FSMSA) and ANZ Fiji and Pacific Operations.
Among the most notable gains in the three-year agreement are increased provisions for carers and family leave now set at five days and bereavement leave, now extended to eight days.
These enhancements mark a major shift toward supporting the personal and emotional well-being of employees in the finance sector.
FSMSA General Secretary Sailesh Naidu said the leave increases reflect a growing understanding of the need for compassionate and practical workplace policies.
The agreement also includes other progressive leave provisions such as parental leave, long service leave, study leave, and retirement leave, alongside guaranteed salary increases and enhanced insurance coverage.
“The three-year agreement provides guaranteed salaries and salary adjustments, improved allowances, and enhanced insurance coverage including life insurance,” said Mr Naidu.
This agreement represents a significant achievement for the finance sector and ANZ, as it establishes a new benchmark for senior bankers and high-level employees.”
“The terms and conditions secured under this agreement place ANZ staff well ahead of their peers in other financial institutions across Fiji.”
The FSMSA represents managerial staff across several financial institutions and continues to advocate for fair and forward-looking employment practices.
