Progression Rules -

 

Classified Call Centre Sales Stream

 

Progression in this stream is based on attainment of competencies in the Classified Call Centre Sales Skill Functions as described in Schedule A.

 

Customer Service Stream

 

Progression in this stream is based on an annual Performance Review based on factors such as SII Competency, Admarc Competency, Negotiation Skills, Accuracy and Customer Relations Skills.

 

Preference for Skill Training

 

Training opportunities shall be allocated in accordance with the following priorities:

 

1           Full-time employees

2           Part-time employees

3           Casual employees

 

Note: See Schedule B

 

 

2.          Delete subclause (f) of the said clause 6 and insert in lieu thereof:

 

f)          Shift Allowances

 

(i)        Night Shift

 

"Night Work" will mean any shift where more than one-half is performed between the hours of 6.00 p.m. and 6.00 a.m. daily. If employees are required to undertake night work, a night shift  payment of $2.2828 for each hour worked in the shift will be made. For example, an employee that works a four hour shift that attracts a night shift allowance will be paid an additional $9.12. A night shift allowance will not exceed $22.82 per day, which is paid for a 10 hour shift. 

 

(ii)       Early Start

 

If employees are required to commence work prior to 8.00 a.m. an early start payment of $1.1514 for each hour worked in the shift will be made. For example, an employee that works a six hour shift that starts at 7.00 a.m. will be paid an additional $6.90. An early start allowance will not exceed $11.50 per day, which is paid for a 10 hour shift.

 

(iii)     Late Finish

 

If employees are required to cease work after 6.00 p.m. a late finish payment of $1.9419 for each hour worked will be made. For example, an employee that works an eight hour shift that finishes at 7.00 p.m. will be paid an additional $15.53. A late finish allowance will not exceed $19.41 per day, which is paid for a 10 hour shift.

 

Early start and late finish allowances shall not apply if the employee is entitled to a night shift payment. Shift allowances are not to be included as part of the overtime calculation.

 

3.          Delete the subclause (h) of clause 6 and insert in lieu thereof the following.

 

h)         Travelling Expenses

 

All reasonable expenses incurred on company business will be paid.  Each claim is to be supported by a receipt.

Overtime will be paid for travelling on company business outside ordinary working hours which is in excess of the time normally occupied by travelling between home and the office.

 

Where employees are required to use their motor car by the company on a casual or incidental basis, they shall be paid an amount of 0.53 cents per kilometre travelled, during such use.

 

 

4.          This variation shall take effect from the first full pay period to commence on or after 3 August 2001.
