[New compensatory allowances] The University may, from time to time, establish new compensatory allowances where a supervisor requires certain tasks to be performed.
2.1 [Establishment] In establishing a new allowance, consideration will be given to:
2.1.1 the General Staff Classification Descriptors;
2.1.2 whether the particular feature of the staff member's work has been delegated;
2.1.3 whether approval will have a flow-on effect to other staff or be inconsistent with current practices in relation to reward and recognition of staff.
2.2 [Criteria] A new compensatory allowance will only be established if it can be demonstrated that:
2.2.1 the additional responsibility (ie particular feature) is not already incorporated in the staff member's position description, or is not an implied term of the staff member's appointment; and
2.2.2 the work value of the particular feature is at a higher level than the staff member's substantive classification; and
2.2.3 significant statutory and/or legal responsibilities are attached to the particular feature of the staff member's work; and
2.2.4 the staff member is required to perform the duties for a specified period (ie the task/function is not optional and is not a once-off occurrence); and
2.2.5 appropriate training for the additional responsibility has been undertaken/will be undertaken by the staff member.
2.3 [Case] A case for the establishment of a new allowance, or an adjustment to an existing allowance, will be made in the first instance to the Manager, Human Resources. |
