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 MUCA 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.
