a catch-up increase of 4 per cent for a small group of teachers of evening classes whose hourly rates were not dealt with in the second tier agreement. The estimated cost of these increases to the ACT Government is expected to be $2,100,000 in 1989-90. Assuming the second 3 per cent structural efficiency adjustment becomes available in six months time this will add an estimated $509,000 to salaries costs in 1989-90. The estimated full year cost of both 3 per cent structural efficiency adjustments is expected to be $6,521,000.
On 16 November 1989 the Industrial Relations Commission agreed to a variation of the award for ACT TAFE teachers to enable a 3 per cent structural efficiency adjustment on existing rates of pay from 23 November 1989. The estimated cost of the initial 3 per cent structural efficiency adjustment to the ACT Government is expected to be $365,000 in 1989-90. Assuming the second 3 per cent structural efficiency adjustment becomes available in six months time this will add an estimated $50,000 to salaries costs in 1989-90. The estimated full year cost of both 3 per cent structural efficiency adjustments is expected to be $1,284,000.
The dates of effect for those structural efficiency adjustments still subject to negotiation are not known at this stage. However, the estimated cost in 1989-90 of the structural efficiency adjustments already agreed together with those still subject to negotiation will be accommodated within the budget provision for national wage case and other award increases.
