DETYA Certified Agreement15. Broadbanding - the DETYA Classification System
5.1 The DETYA Classification System 15.1.1 DETYA operates under a broadbanded classification system (known as the DETYA Classification System) based on the APS-wide classification structure, introduced in the DEETYA Certified Agreement 1998. Broadbanding in DETYA merged some classifications from the APS wide structure. Subject to certain conditions, employees may access a greater range of salaries through pay progression or performance based advancement. Employees may have the opportunity to progress to higher levels and perform a wider variety of tasks. Broadbanding levels does not reduce the need for mandatory qualifications in specific jobs. 15.1.2 The salary bands/broadbands, attainment points within broadbands and pay points of the main stream of the DETYA Classification System are set out in Appendix 4 of Schedule 1 of this Agreement. 15.1.3 Employees who are employed under the local title of Public Affairs Officer (PAO) 2 or 3 classification at the time of certification of this Agreement will have their salary structure maintained, as set out in Appendix 3 of Schedule 1, whilst they remain employed to perform PAO duties. However, there will be no separate ongoing salary structure for future employees performing these duties. The translation of former PAO classifications to the DETYA classification System is set out in Appendix 4 of Schedule 1. 15.1.4 Eligibility requirements, selection and salary advancement arrangements for DETYA Legal 1 and DETYA Legal 2 classifications will be in accordance with Schedule 5 and sections 15.3.1, 15.3.2 and 15.4. Subject to Schedule 5, eligibility for advancement through a normal pay point will become due on 1 July of each year after assessment of performance under DETYA’s Performance Management System. 15.2 Attainment Points 15.2.1 In a broadband, work may vary in complexity and require a wide range of skills. Each of the DETYA broadbands contains one or more attainment points which correspond to distinct DETYA specific work level standards. 15.2.2 Within broadbands, pay progression or performance based advancement beyond attainment points is not automatic. The additional conditions set out in section 15.6 which must be satisfied in order for an employee to be paid the salary beyond an attainment point in the broadband distinguish the attainment points from normal pay points within a band. 15.3 Classification Management 15.3.1 The work performed by employees at levels will be classified by band and, if applicable, within the broadbands, above and below the attainment points. The classification of a job within a broadband may also be varied either up or down when it becomes vacant. 15.3.2 The classification of work will be determined by the Secretary having regard to work level standards. 15.3.3 Employees may have their classification within a broadband upgraded as they advance and work is required at the higher level. 15.4 Filling of Vacancies 15.4.1 Vacancies in a broadband and above an attainment point may be filled on an ongoing basis by ongoing employees by movement at level or merit selection process. 15.5 Pay Progression 15.5.1 Eligibility for advancement through a normal pay point will become due after 12 months service at a particular pay point. 15.5.2 Progression through an attainment point must be in accordance with section 15.2 and 15.6. 15.5.3 Advancement will be as determined by the Performance Management System described in sections 14.1 to 14.9. 15.6 Progression Beyond an Attainment Point 15.6.1 At the time of his or her performance assessment, an employee in the lower range of a broadband who is rated as “Fully Effective” or above for the purposes of salary progression may progress beyond the attainment point if sufficient work of an appropriate DETYA specific work level standard is available consistent with the work area’s business plan. The Secretary will have regard to equity and fairness in the overall distribution of work in an area when determining whether work at the higher level is available for an individual. 15.6.2 When an employee progresses beyond an attainment point, the employee will be reclassified at the next highest level of the broadband. 15.6.3 Once an employee has advanced to a higher level of a broadband, they will be eligible to apply for movement at level to any vacant job at the higher level of the broadband within DETYA. 15.7 Salary Progression Mechanisms 15.7.1 Salary progression may only occur in accordance with the provisions at sections 14.1 to 14.11. of this Agreement. 15.8 Temporary Performance 15.8.1 An employee may be directed by the Secretary to perform the work of a higher classification or, of a higher band or above an attainment point in a broadband. Subject to clause 15.8.2, Temporary Performance Loading (TPL) will not be paid for periods of less than two weeks. If the employee is directed to perform a job at a higher level for a period of two weeks or more, the employee will be remunerated at the salary of the higher classification or band or above an attainment point within the broadband for the period. 15.8.2 In exceptional circumstances where there is a frequent and recurring or onerous requirement for short-term periods of performing work of a higher classification or band or higher attainment point in a broadband, the Secretary may approve payment of TPL for a period shorter than two weeks during which the functions of the higher level position are being performed. 15.8.3 The Secretary will recognise continuous or aggregated periods of twelve months that an employee has spent working at a higher classification or, at a higher band or a higher attainment point in a broadband within the preceding two years and will approve the payment of TPL at the next pay point at the higher classification or, at the higher band or the higher attainment point in a broadband. 15.8.4 Where temporary performance is anticipated to extend for a period in excess of 6 months it is expected that a merit selection process for interested applicants will be undertaken. 15.8.5 A [non Senior Executive Service] employee who is directed to temporarily perform work at the SES level for more than 2 weeks, will be paid in accordance with the DETYA SES Remuneration Policy for the period of temporary performance. 15.8.6 A [non Senior Executive Service] employee who is directed to temporarily perform work at the SES level for more than 2 weeks, will retain access to the conditions provided under this Agreement. 15.8.7 Temporary Performance Loading on Leave 15.8.7.1 Where an employee is absent on paid leave or observes a public holiday and has been directed to perform duties at a higher classification, payment of TPL will continue during the absence as if the employee was still at work, to the extent of the continued operation of the direction. If the period of leave is less than on full pay, the payment of TPL will be adjusted accordingly. [previous] [next] PART D Flexible Work Arrangements and Conditions
