All grievances and disputes 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 agency, if required.

 

(i)         An employee is required to notify in writing 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 Department Head or Delegate.

 

(iii)       The immediate manager, or other appropriate officer, 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 Department Head.

 

(v)        The Department Head may refer the matter to the Secretary for consideration.

 

(vi)       In the event that the matter remains unresolved, the Department 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.

 

(viii)     The employee or the Association on their behalf or the Department Head may refer the matter to the Industrial Relations Commission of New South Wales if the matter is unresolved following the use of these procedures.

 

(ix)       The employee, Association, Department and Secretary shall agree to be bound by any lawful recommendation, order or determination by the Industrial Relations Commission of New South Wales in relation to the dispute.

 

(x)        Whilst the procedures outlined in (i) to (ix) 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 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 or indirect 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:

(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.

 

(a)        Employers and employees may also be subject to Commonwealth anti-discrimination legislation.

 

(b)        Section 56(d) of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 provides:

8.  No Extra Claims

 

(i)         Other than as provided for in the Industrial Relations Act 1996 and the Industrial Relations (Public Sector Conditions of Employment) Regulation 2014, there shall be no further claims/demands or proceedings instituted before the NSW Industrial Relations Commission for extra or reduced wages, salaries, rates of pay, allowances or conditions of employment with respect to the Employees covered by the Award that take effect prior to 30 June 2017 by a party to this Award.

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 1 October 1993 (276 I.G. 941) and Erratum published 3 December 1993 (277 I.G. 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.

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.
