Payment of 2% salary increase
We are very pleased to advise that on this coming pay day, Thursday 23 April 2009, all eligible staff will be receiving a 2% salary increase as previously advised by the Vice-Chancellor (in a global email on 5 February 2009). Detailed information including web links to the revised salary rates is available at http://www.adm.monash.edu.au/enterprise-bargaining/
This increase has been awarded in recognition that staff at Monash have not received a salary increase for some time, and that the current round of enterprise bargaining is still not yet complete at Monash and many other universities. The increase is to be absorbed within any salary increases negotiated as part of any future enterprise agreement. The increase has not been paid to senior academic (DVCs, PVCs, Deans etc,) and professional (above HEW Level 10) staff of the university.
The University remains optimistic of reaching an enterprise agreement with the NTEU. Nevertheless in the event that an enterprise bargaining agreement is not reached in the near future, the University will review options to provide a further “administrative” pay increase in the latter part of 2009. This will be depend upon the University’s financial situation and any improvement in the University’s capacity to provide additional benefits, which may for example emerge from either the forthcoming federal or state government budgets.
We will continue to keep you informed of the progress of enterprise bargaining and negotiations. If staff have any queries they can email them to ebfeedback@adm.monash.edu.au
