Did you receive your incremental progression?
UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, SYDNEY
SUPPORT STAFF AGREEMENT
2010:
"21.5 Progression to a higher level shall be available only when the staff member‟s supervisor
certifies that:
(a) the competency requirements for progression established for the occupational group
and/or work unit are satisfied by the incumbent
(b) that the quality of work performed by the staff member is consistent with work
required of the higher level and the position description, and
(c) there is work consistently available at the higher level.
21.6 Where progression to a higher level is not approved the affected staff member will be
provided with written feedback by the supervisor, including the reason why progression is not
approved."
A short thank you from a member who was acting on behalf of themselves and their work area staff to ensure they all received their incremental progression.

"Dear Delegates and Industrial staff,
Thank
you for all your hard work – it is much appreciated.
It
looks like this is a total victory for CPSU.
At
around 10:30am, the Manager called a meeting and advised everyone about the
fact that University was going to fix the incremental issue which affected most --- staff and some --- staff.
---- said that --- should’ve advised everyone earlier, but he had been trying to get
HR to fix the problem all along (!)
-- said -- will make sure that no one will be disadvantaged and all the affected
staff including those in other parts of --- will get their increment sorted.
I
could see that the Manager wanted to save the University’s and his face and
made it seem that it was not because of the CPSU pressure that they are now
fixing the problem.
I
told the Manager in front of everyone that the whole thing was very poorly
handled and that the University had breached the Enterprise Agreement by
reversing my increment without consultation
and
that there should’ve been more communication.
And
I asked when the problem will be fixed now. Looks like it will be fixed for
next pay.
Will
keep you updated once the matter is finalised.
In
the meantime, I’ve spoken to more staff in ---- about what CPSU can do for
them. It’s a slow process, but the CPSU influence is spreading.
Thanks
again and well done to CPSU!"
