Common use of Accelerated advancement Clause in Contracts

Accelerated advancement. The Employer may approve accelerated advancement through steps of the scale. The parties acknowledge that the standard arrangements in the sector provide for annual step- by-step movement through the applicable ‘automatic’ progression range in the salary scale. The parties acknowledge that nothing in the agreement precludes movement through the salary steps more rapidly than by annual increment, nor is there any restriction on moving more than one step at a time (e.g. if indicated by advanced job content, skill shortage, responsibilities of the position, or the employee’s level of performance). Such progression is at the discretion of the Employer, on the advice of People and Capability. An employee shall be able to involve their union representative in any application for accelerated advancement. Requests for accelerated advancement must be supported by the applicant's manager, who may apply on their behalf as part of the step process as at 3 April each year. Accelerated advancement is at the discretion of the Ministry, and if accepted, will result in a double step instead of a single step being taken. If this would result in the applicant entering step P7 from 3 April 2023 or step P8 from 3 April 2024, then a panel assessment is also required (see clause 3.1.3). Managers will take into account merit, internal equity and affordability when supporting such requests. The final decision will be made by the Secretary for Education who may delegate this to Hautū.
