Fix this texternment's legislative changes
Fix this textthat impose a salary cap of 2.5

Fix this textsive campaign in collaboration with
Fix this textother public sector unions to over-
Fix this textturn the O'Farrell Government’s
Fix this textunjust Public Sector Wages Policy
Fix this textand repeal the law that backs it.
Fix this textThe policy limits all increases
Fix this textto 2.5 per cent per annum. CPI in-

Fix this text1.9 per cent which makes the
Fix this textsalary increases achieved in the

Fix this textNew classroom teacher
Fix this textpay scale
Fix this textA new classroom teacher pay scale
Fix this texthas been created for teachers begin-
Fix this textning their career in 2016. It will take
Fix this textteachers beginning in 2016 only seven
Fix this textyears to get to the 'top of the scale’ in-
Fix this textstead of the current nine years.
Fix this textOnce accreditation is achieved,
Fix this textprogression is automatic subject to
Fix this textthe normal efficiency processes.
Fix this textThis is exactly the case now.
Fix this textThere will be no quotas, there
Fix this textwill be no barriers.
Fix this textThe salary level of any teacher can-
Fix this textnot be determined at the school level.
Fix this textIt is automatic steps based on teach-
Fix this texting experience. There will be five in-
Fix this textcremental steps over seven years.
Fix this textA teacher beginning in 2016 would
Fix this textearn an additional $45,000 after nine
Fix this textyears on the new scale compared to
Fix this textthe earnings of a teacher after nine
Fix this textyears on the current scale.
Fix this textThis is a significant increase
Fix this textin earning power and will assist
Fix this textin both recruiting and retaining
Fix this textteachers in the future.
Fix this textFor current teachers on the higher
Fix this textsteps of the existing incremental
Fix this textscale there will be no changes.
Fix this textThere will no accreditation pro-
Fix this textcess akin to the procedures for be-
Fix this textginning teachers and they will
Fix this textremain on the incremental scale.
Fix this textNew salary classification
Fix this textThe other achievement that the
Fix this textunion has negotiated, which has
Fix this textbeen a longstanding policy of the-
Fix this textFederation, is to create a new clas-
Fix this textsification that allows those teach-
Fix this texters who wish to remain in the class-
Fix this textroom access to a higher salary.
Fix this textIf a teacher gains accreditation
Fix this textas a highly accomplished teacher,
Fix this textthen that teacher will be paid at a
Fix this textrate above $lOO,OOO, midway be-
Fix this texttween ‘top of the scale' and the first
Fix this textpromotion step.
Fix this textIt is a status, not a position. It is vol-
Fix this textuntary and is owned by the teacher
Fix this textwhile ever they remain accredited,
Fix this textand that status and salary remains
Fix this textwith the teacher even if they change
Fix this textschools. It is not linked to any speci-
Fix this textfied roles within a school.
