The workforce of Kimberly-Clark Australia has endorsed the restructure of the company.


Employees at its Millicent Mill and across Australia were informed by management in January the American owners were creating a new company called Kimberly-Clark IFP ANZ Pty Ltd.


It would run its Australian operations including the Millicent Mill for the Kimberly-Clark Corporation of the USA.


The SE Voice has seen the memo to Millicent Mill employees which states there will be no changes to their status, service record, location, job title, salary, leave entitlements, severance pay and other aspects of their enterprise bargaining agreements.


In effect, they had to resign from KCA and join the new entity which comes into effect on April 1.


If employees were unwilling to commit by February 28, the company memo states a notice of termination from the Millicent Mill might be issued.


In these cases, severance and termination payments would not be made.


Just ahead of Friday’s deadline, the Sydney headquarters of KCA issued this statement to The SE Voice.


“We have been working closely with our people to ensure a smooth transition to the new legal entity, and an overwhelming majority have signed so far,” the KCA spokesperson said.


“The Millicent Mill maintains normal operation throughout this transition.”


The CFMEU informed its 270 Millicent Mill members that its legal team had no issues regarding the Kimberly-Clark corporate restructure and completion of the documents.


The Federal Government’s Australian Business Register states Kimberly-Clark IFP ANZ Pty Ltd was registered as an Australian private company on September 4 of last year.
