grievances and dispute resolution relating to the provisions of this award
shall initially be dealt with as close to the source as possible, with
graduated steps for further attempts at resolution at higher levels of
authority within the appropriate department/institute, if required.
(ii) An employee
is required to notify in writing their immediate manager as to the substance of
the grievance, dispute or difficulty, request a meeting to discuss the matter
and, if possible, state the remedy sought.
(iii) Where the
grievance or dispute involves confidential or other sensitive material
(including issues of harassment or discrimination under the Anti Discrimination

manager the notification may occur to the next appropriate level of management,
including where required, to the Agency
Head or delegate.
(iv) The immediate
manager, or other appropriate officer, shall convene a meeting in order to
resolve the grievance, dispute or difficulty within two (2) working days, or as
soon as practicable, of the matter being brought to attention.
(v) If the matter
remains unresolved with the immediate manager, the employee may request to meet
the appropriate person at the next level of management in order to resolve the
matter. This manager shall respond
within two working days, or as soon as practicable. This sequence of reference to successive
levels of management may be pursued by the employee until the matter is
referred to the Agency Head/Managing
Director, TAFE.
(vi) The Agency
Head/Managing Director, TAFE may refer the matter to the Industrial Relations
Secretary for consideration.
(vii) If the matter
remains unresolved, the Agency Head/Managing Director, TAFE shall provide a

(ix) the employee
or the Union on their behalf, or the Agency Head/Managing Director, TAFE may
refer the matter to the Industrial Relations Commission of New South Wales if
the matter is unresolved following the use of these procedures.
(x) The employee,
union, agency, and Industrial Relations Secretary and/or institute and TAFE shall agree to be
bound by any order or determination by the Industrial Relations Commission of
New South Wales in relation to the dispute.
(xi) Whilst the
procedures outlined in subclauses (i) to (ix) of this clause are being
followed, normal work undertaken prior to notification of the dispute or
difficulty shall continue unless otherwise agreed between the parties. In a case involving work health and safety,
if practicable, normal work shall proceed in a manner that avoids any risk to
the health and safety of any employee or member of the public.
7. Anti-Discrimination
(i) It is the
intention of the parties bound by this award to seek to achieve the object in
section 3(f) of the Industrial Relations Act 1996 to prevent and
eliminate discrimination in the workplace.
This includes discrimination on the grounds of race, sex, marital
status, disability, homosexuality, transgender identity, age and
responsibilities as a carer.
(ii) It follows
that, in fulfilling their obligations under the dispute resolution procedure
prescribed by this award, the parties have obligations to take all reasonable
steps to ensure that the operation of the provisions of this award are not
directly or indirectly discriminatory in their effects. It will be consistent with the fulfilment of
these obligations for the parties to make application to vary any provision of
the award which, by its terms or operation, has a direct discriminatory effect.
(iii) Under the Anti-Discrimination
Act 1977, it is unlawful to victimise an employee because the employee has
made or may make or has been involved in a complaint of unlawful discrimination
or harassment.
(iv) Nothing in
this clause is to be taken to affect:
(a) any conduct or
act which is specifically exempted from anti-discrimination legislation;
(b) offering or
providing junior rates of pay to persons under 21 years of age;
(c) any act or
practice of a body established to propagate religion which is exempted under
section 56(d) of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977;
(d) a party to
this award from pursuing matters of unlawful discrimination in any State or
Federal jurisdiction.
(v) This clause
does not create legal rights or obligations in addition to those imposed upon
the parties by the legislation referred to in this clause.
NOTES
(i) Employers and
employees may also be subject to Commonwealth anti-discrimination legislation.
(ii) Section 56(d)
of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 provides:
"Nothing in the Act affects ... any other act or
practice of a body established to propagate religion that conforms to the
doctrines of that religion or is necessary to avoid injury to the religious
susceptibilities of the adherents of that religion."
8. Salary Sacrifice to
Superannuation
An employee may elect, subject to the agreement of the
agency, to enter into a Salary Packaging Arrangement in accordance with the
provisions of Clause 5 of the Crown Employees (Public Sector - Salaries 2016)

shall provide the employer with a schedule setting out union fortnightly
membership fees payable by members of the union in accordance with the union's
rules.
(ii) The union
shall advise the employer of any change to the amount of fortnightly membership
fees made under its rules. Any variation
to the schedule of union fortnightly membership fees payable shall be provided
to the employer at least one month in advance of the variation taking effect.
(iii) Subject to
subclauses (i) and (ii) of this clause, the employer shall deduct union
fortnightly membership fees from the pay of any employee who is a member of the
union in accordance with the union's rules, provided that the employee has
authorised the employer to make such deductions.
(iv) Monies so
deducted from employee's pay shall be forwarded regularly to the union together
with all necessary information to enable the union to reconcile and credit

arrangements are agreed to by the employer and the union, all union membership
fees shall be deducted on a fortnightly basis.
(vi) Where an
employee has already authorised the deduction of union membership fees from his

deductions to continue.
