EB General Staff


Yesterday, the University made a decision to release a revised 10% salary offer to General staff for the current round of enterprise bargaining.

The new offer is as follows:

GENERAL STAFF.

a) General Salary Component (10%):

Made up of

  • 7% Guaranteed
  • 3% Averaged Organisational Achievement Increases

b) Organisational Achievement Increases (3%) - Criteria

The University has proposed several criteria (that, on balance, would be measured in Dec 2002) to identify if necessary revenue has been achieved to provide for the 3% contingent component of our offer. Please note that the criteria below (with exception of dot point 4) is for ALL staff within the organisation (ie both general and academic staff).

The proposed criteria includes:

1. Increase in Institutional Grants and Research Training Funds [1998 Annual Report Base]

2. Increase in International and Domestic Full Fee paying Student Enrolments [31 October 1999 Base]

3. Increase in Doctoral Enrolments [31 October 1999 Base]

4. Plus another criteria (to be jointly decided between the parties for general staff) that will achieve increased revenue generation through administrative efficiencies.

d) Salary Packaging

In addition the University confirmed that salary packaging of SSAU superannuation, cars and childcare at Yarm Gwanga could also be provided at the option of staff. Further documentation on advantages will be provided to the negotiation team.

(An example of the cash in hand benefit that could be achieved through the salary packaging of SSAU superannuation ranges from 1.78% - 5.04%)

e) Other Commitments

The University also confirmed that the revised salary proposal excludes any new or additional government salary supplementation that may be achieved at a later date. Should such funds be made available, the university will flow such benefits on to staff.
