Managers and supervisors have now had a briefing from HR on the other processes that will be used to implement changed conditions from the signed negotiations.

The timeline for implementing pay increases for union staff has been notified already. Other conditions that have changed should be communicated by the Union to their members.

The following is the process for non union members employed as General Staff, Academic Staff and Senior Tutors, and Cleaners and Custodians.

As you are aware, the University and the Unions have completed the 2008 collective negotiation process for union members employed under the Collective Agreements, and the University is currently in the process of implementing the new collectives. The University will be undertaking a separate process for staff that are employed as General Staff, Academic and Senior Tutors, the Cleaners and Custodians and who are not members of the AUS, ASTE PSA, and SFWU. The University will make an offer to staff that they need to accept and return to HR before the increase and new terms offered are implemented.

The offer will be made in the form of a variation. If the offer is accepted by the employee, they will be required to sign and return one copy of the variation to their HR Advisor before the increase is processed.
