Process of consultation Clause Samples

The 'Process of consultation' clause defines the procedures and steps that parties must follow when engaging in discussions to resolve issues or disputes arising under an agreement. Typically, this clause outlines how and when parties should notify each other of concerns, the timeframe for initiating consultations, and the manner in which meetings or communications should occur. By establishing a clear and structured process, this clause ensures that both parties have an opportunity to address problems collaboratively before resorting to more formal dispute resolution methods, thereby promoting efficient conflict management and reducing the likelihood of escalation.
Process of consultation. (a) The Principal or delegate is to consider the views of Teacher Aides when making decisions in a fair and reasonable way. (b) Group consultation per clause 2.3, should involve discussion about the change process (e.g. increase to allocation or decrease to allocation), advise on the proposed change and the effect it will have on Teacher Aide hours of employment. This should also include any relevant documentation or information about the change process. (c) As part of the consultation process, Teacher Aides shall be given reasonable opportunity to discuss any significant effect the change will have on the Teacher Aides’ personal circumstances. (d) Teacher Aides must also take reasonable steps to advise the Principal or delegate as soon as possible of the Teacher ▇▇▇▇’s views (personal circumstances) in relation to the proposed change(s). (e) Consultation is more than a mere exchange of information. (f) Effective consultation means the Teacher Aide(s) are contributing to the decision-making process, not only in appearance but also in fact.

Process of consultation. This is clause 2.4 in the current agreement with minor changes: Omitted the example in brackets at current clause 2.4(b) ‘e.g. increase to allocation or decrease to allocation’ as the new employment model is based on a whole job framework (not hour by hour engagement); omitted clause 2.4(e) because its contents are included in clause 2.1(e). Existing clause 2.5 ‘Outcome of consultation’ has been moved to a sub-clause of clause 2.3. Clause 2.3(g) is a new provision that supports the transition to the standard job model in Part 9 ‘Transition to standard job model’ by exempting the group consultation requirements (under Part 2) from elements of the transition process. Part 9 contains specific consultation and communication requirements that will apply. Clause 2.3(g) makes it clear that the group consultation exemption ceases to apply with the operation of Part 9 (which is the systems implementation date as defined in the proposed agreement at clause 1.6(cc)).
