ITEM 3: OTHER BUSINESS:

UNE suggested that although on-call arrangements should be kept consistent with ITS it would be looked at for other areas of the University. The NTEU tabled the University of Sydney's On-Call Arrangements document for discussion.

Action: UNE is to draft a provision and it was agreed in principle that this needs more discussion.

3.2 Salaries

UNE advised the NTEU that they have revised their offer to 7% and tabled a document to this effect. UNE also tabled a document explaining the organisational targets.

NTEU advised that the quantum offer is still not enough, also that contingency may not be out of the question but would have to be underpinned by a substantial offer on salary increases.

3.3 Broadbanding

UNE advised that this matter would be called linking of classifications. They also advised that this would be in relation to specific positions, with the design and requirements of that position to be looked at very closely in advance.

UNE tabled a draft reward and recognition document and the NTEU tabled a document from Auxillium West on Broadbanding.
