Appendix 7 - Movements in Employee Wages
Crown Employees (Public Sector-Salaries January 2000) Award.
The Crown Employees (Public Sector-Salaries June 1997) Award expired on 31 December 1999 and was replaced by a new consent award, the Crown Employees (Public Sector-Salaries January 2000) Award. This Award was ratified in the Industrial Relations Commission of New South Wales on 21 March 2000 and will expire on 31 December 2001.
Under the award, salaries were increased by 2 per cent from 1 January 2000 and will be increased by a further 2 per cent from 1 January 2001. The parties also signed a Memorandum of Understanding outlining their commitments under the award which, if fulfilled, will allow further salary increases as follows:
1 January 2002 3%
1 January 2003 4%
30 June 2003 5%
These latter increases will be made under another award and only 2 per cent of each increase will be funded by Treasury. The balance of the increases, ie 6 per cent, will be funded from savings generated from workplace reform, both sector wide and in individual agencies, which are negotiated with the relevant unions. These savings will be identified during the life of the current award.
Senior Officers
The Crown Employees (Senior Officers Salaries 1997) Award was included in Schedule A of awards to be varied under the Crown Employees (Public Sector-Salaries January 2000) Award. The current award covers officers in receipt of salaries above that paid to Administrative and Clerical Officers, Clerk, Grade 12, but not members of the Senior Executive Service.
The purpose of the Senior Officer classification is to provide additional capacity for the New South Wales Public Service to recognise work value of non-Senior Executive positions. The Department has established 13 positions of Senior Officer Grade 1 and one position of Senior Officer Grade 2 under the award.
