Rates of pay, classifications and allowances

The rates of pay for each level are set out in Schedule 1 of the Enterprise Agreement (EA), and “classification descriptors”, (i.e., brief summaries of what each level entails) are set out in Schedule 2 of the EA. Allowances for general staff (such as first aid and meal allowances) are listed in Schedule 3 of the EA. These allowances will be increased in line with existing policy, i.e. to match EA pay increases or relevant NSW Public Service reference rates.

General staff classification

Procedures for the assessment or classification of general staff roles, including appeal procedures, are set out in clauses 80 to 96 of the EBA. These include requirements for all positions to have position descriptions, and more streamlined arrangements for applying to have positions reassessed.

The EBA establishes a Classification Monitoring Panel, comprising 3 University nominees and 3 staff nominees. The Classification Monitoring Panel will have a key role in the oversight of general staff classification assessment.
