(i)         An employee is required to notify (in writing or otherwise) their immediate manager, as to the substance of the dispute or difficulty, request a meeting to discuss the matter and, if possible, state the remedy sought.

 

(ii)        Where the grievance or dispute involves confidential or other sensitive material (including issues of harassment or discrimination under the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977) that makes it impractical for the employee to advise their immediate manager, the notification may occur to the next appropriate level of management, including, where required, to the appropriate agency head or Delegate.

 

(iii)       The immediate manager shall convene a meeting in order to resolve the dispute or difficulty within two (2) days, or as soon as practicable, of the matter being brought to attention.

 

(iv)       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 (2) 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.

 

(v)        The agency head may refer the matter to the Director of Public Employment (DPE) for consideration.

 

(vi)       In the event that the matter remains unresolved, the agency head shall provide a written response to the employee and any other party involved in the dispute or difficulty, concerning action to be taken, or the reasons for not taking action, in relation to the matter

 

(vii)      An employee, at any stage, may request to be represented by an Association representative.

(x)        Whilst the procedures are being followed, normal work undertaken prior to notification of the grievance or dispute shall continue unless otherwise agreed between the parties, or, in the case of a dispute involving Occupational Health and Safety, if practicable, normal work shall proceed in such a manner as to avoid 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.  No Extra Claims

(ii)        This increase arises from the agreement of the parties contained in the Memorandum of Understanding, Crown Employees (Public Sector Salaries), between the NSW Government and the Association entered into on 21 December 2004.  That agreement was made in full and final settlement of IRC Matter No. 3817 of 2004.  It formed the basis of the Crown Employees (Public Sector – Salaries 2004) Award for increases of 4% effective from the first pay period to commence on or after 1 July 2004, 4% effective from the first pay period to commence on or after 1 July 2005 and 4% effective from the first pay period to commence on or after 1 July 2006.  This Crown Employees (Public Sector – Salaries 2007) Award provides for the final agreed salary increase of 4% effective from the first pay period to commence on or after 1 July 2007.

 

(iii)       The pay increase under this Award is provided on the basis that there shall be no further claims for changes to salaries, rates of pay or allowances during the term of the Memorandum of Understanding, Crown Employees (Public Sector Salaries), between the NSW Government and the Association entered into on 21 December 2004, except as provided for in the Memorandum.

SCHEDULE B

 

COMMON SALARY POINTS

 

(i)         History of the Crown Employees (Common Salary Points) Award:

 

This Schedule contains a summary of the Crown Employees (Common Salary Points) Award made 30 July 1990 published 276 IG 941 and erratum 277 IG 576.

 

The parties have agreed to the rescission of the Crown Employees (Common Salary Points) Award in accordance with the s19 Award Review process, and to the inclusion of a summary of the award as a schedule to the Crown Employees (Public Sector - Salaries January, 2000) Award and any replacement award, until such time as a new classification and grading system has been agreed and implemented by the parties.

 

The Crown Employees (Common Salary Points) Award was introduced under the Structural Efficiency Principle to establish a set of 130 common salary points, replacing about 1400 salary points spread across about 500 separate classifications in the NSW public service.  The introduction of common salary points allowed for the simplification of pay structures, the encouragement of the review and redesign of jobs to improve work arrangements and the simplification of pay administration.

 

Summary of the Crown Employees (Common Salary Points) Award

 

The Crown Employees (Common Salary Points) Award applied to all persons employed by an organisation specified in Table 1 for whom an annual salary rate was prescribed by an award specified  in Table 2 or by an agreement or determination but did not include a person who was occupying a position specified in Table 3.

 

It took effect from the beginning of the first full pay period to commence on or after 1 July 1991. The annual salary rates applicable to the various classifications of employees were to be drawn from the common salary points prescribed by Table 4.  The actual common salary points applicable to a particular classification of employees were to be prescribed by an award, agreement or determination.  Annual salary rates prescribed by an award, agreement or determination that exceeded the rate prescribed by the highest common salary point were not affected by the award.

 

Table 1:  Organisations

 

Table 2:  Awards

 

Table 3:  Classifications (by organisation) excluded

 

Table 4:  Common salary points

 

(ii)        Current Common Salary Points

 

These Common Salary Points apply only to the classifications contained in this Award, as appropriate.  Prior relationships between salaries and Common Salary Points continue, but there is no extension of their use by the making of this Award.  Where Common Salary Points have been identified in this Award the CSP Numbers have been noted next to the salary rates to assist calculation and checking.
