21. Incremental Salary Progression

21.1 Incremental salary progression is the movement of a staff member's salary to the next highest salary point (or increment) within his or her current classification level in recognition of the staff member's acquisition of new skills, experience and knowledge. Supervisors will provide reasonable assistance and opportunity to staff members to achieve incremental salary progression.

21.2 Subject to sub-clause 21.3, the following categories of staff member are entitled to incremental salary progression:

21.2(a) staff members employed pursuant to a standard appointment, other than those employed pursuant to sub-clause 5.3; and,

21.2(b) staff members employed pursuant to a fixed term appointment, other than those employed pursuant to sub-clause 5.3 or sub-clauses 10.2.8 to 10.2.10.

21.3 A staff member appointed to a standard or fixed term appointment will be eligible for incremental progression if he or she:

21.3(a) is in receipt of a salary that is less than the maximum step for his or her classification level; and,

21.3(b) has concluded 12 months continuous service with the University following the later of either:

21.3(b)(i) entry into the classification level (via appointment, promotion or reclassification to the relevant level); or

21.3(b)(ii) the most recent incremental salary progression.

21.4 The date upon which the achievement of 12 months continuous service occurs (in accordance with paragraph 21.3(b)) will be referred to as the anniversary date.

21.5 Movement to the next salary point within the level will occur only when the staff member has, over the preceding twelve months:

21.5(a) acquired and used additional skills, experience and knowledge within the ambit of the classification level (as set out in Schedule 1, Minimum Standards for Academic Levels or Schedule 2, Positions Classification Standards for General Staff) and in accordance with the priorities of the organisational unit; and

21.5(b) performed satisfactorily against agreed performance objectives and/or the appropriate classification level as set out in Schedule 1 or Schedule 2.

21.6 Movement to the next highest salary point will be effective from the anniversary date.

21.7 Where the delegate's determination of sub-clause 21.5 is delayed, the anniversary date will not be changed and any increase in salary will be paid retrospectively to the anniversary date, unless:

21.7(a) the delay is related to the acquisition of new skills, experience and knowledge in accordance with paragraph 21.5(a), in which case the date of acquisition will be the effective date;

21.7(b) the increment has been withheld in accordance with clause 66, in which case the date from which the performance is deemed to be satisfactory will be the effective date; or

21.7(c) the staff member has been absent from the workplace in circumstances that, in accordance with clause 33, do not count for service, in which case the incremental salary progression will be delayed by the period of absence.
