Collective negotiation process for 2008

As you may be aware, the University and the Unions have completed the 2008 collective negotiation process for union members employed under the Collective Agreements.

Outlined below is the process that will be applied to those staff that are members of the AUS .
· 0.51% increase effective 1 July 2008
· 3.25% increase effective 1 January 2009

Staff employed on the General Staff Collective Agreement will be sent a letter by 10 November confirming these increases. The 1 July increase will be paid on 20 November. The second increase effective 1 January 2009 will be processed in the first pay run in 2009.

The process for staff that are not union members is different to that for union members. When this has been finalised it will be communicated to the relevant staff.
