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.
