Part Five - Training and Development

36. Multi-skilling and Staff Transfer

36.1  The University may require a general staff member to carry out duties provided that: the staff member has been trained in the use of necessary tools and equipment and the duties are appropriate to the ANU Officer grade in which he or she is being paid; and where relevant, the staff member holds the appropriate current licences.

36.2  Where a general staff member is transferred to another area for a period greater than 3 months involving a change in duties or reporting arrangements, the heads of the work areas involved will inform the staff member of the location and reasons for the transfer, provide a copy of the role statement and discuss the transfer if the staff member wishes to do so.  The heads will draw the staff member’s attention to this clause.

36.3  Where the staff member is satisfied with the arrangements the transfer will proceed. In other cases, the matter will be referred to the Director, Human Resources, who will arrange further discussions, at which the staff member may choose to have a representative present.  The Director, Human Resources will determine the matter.

36.4  This does not in any way restrict the University's right to transfer staff members to suitable positions within the University at the same level.

36.5  There will be no impediments to the transfer of a staff member as a result of accrued entitlements.
