provide certainty, stability and equity in relation to overall sector-wide pay and conditions arrangements for the period of the Agreement by maintaining awards complemented by appropriate certified agreements. Agreed reforms include:
greater use of Joint Selection Committees in a manner which increases the commonality of approach between the sectors; monitoring and refining the currently agreed Permanent Part Time (PPT) work arrangements, giving particular attention to developing policies which will provide officers with enhanced access to PPT work when returning from parenting leave; strategies to address absenteeism; improved handling of inefficiency; continued support for the development and implementation of agreed national competency standards for the teaching profession in the Education, Training and Vocational Education and Training industries; job security and redeployment; and award rationalisation and other award matters through the consolidation of conditions contained in awards and agreements including the deletion of obsolete provisions without increasing the cost associated with the application of those provisions.
Other conditions of service matters contained in the enterprise agreement include:
anti discrimination, equal employment opportunity and industrial democracy; parental, adoption and maternity leave; right of entry by authorised officers of unions; and agency level dispute avoidance and settlement procedures.
(2) The Department and the Institute will continue to have
primary responsibility for the redeployment of any officers
declared excess. In some excess staff situations, redeployment
and redundancy will be coordinated through the processes of the
existing ACT Governments Staff Placements Task Force.
Formal offers of voluntary retrenchment will be in accordance with the provisions of the Australian Government Statutory Authorities Redeployment and Retirement (Redundancy) Award 1988.
The agreement will not affect the level of financial redundancy payments to ACT Government school teachers.
