(a) Arising out of the decision of the State Wage Case on 8 September 1989 and in consideration of the wage increases resulting from the first structural efficiency adjustment operative from the commencement of the first pay period beginning on or after 27 October 1989, employees are to perform a wider range of duties including work which is incidental or peripheral to their main tasks or functions. (b) Arising out of the decision on 8 September 1989 in the State Wage Case the parties to this Agreement are committed to implementing a new wage and classification structure. In making this commitment, the parties - (i) accept in principle that the descriptions of job functions within a new structure will be more broadly based and generic in nature; (ii) undertake that upon variation of the Agreement to implement a new wage and classification structure, employees may undertake training for a wider range of duties and/or access to higher levels in accordance with the definitions and training standards laid down in the Agreement variation relating to a new classification structure; (iii) will co-operate in the transition from the existing classification structure to the proposed new structure to ensure that the transition takes place in an orderly manner without creating false expectations or disputation. (c) In the event that there is a claim for reclassification by an existing employee to a higher level under any new structure on the ground that the employee possesses equivalent skill and knowledge gained through on-the-job experience or on any other ground, the following principles apply - (i) The parties agree that the existing Agreement disputes avoidance procedure shall be followed. (ii) Agreed competency standards shall be established by the parties in conjunction with TAFE and SESDA (when operative) for all levels in any new classification structure before any claims for reclassification are processed. (iii) An agreed authority (such as TAFE or SESDA) or agreed accreditation authority (when operative) shall test the validity of an employee's claim for reclassification. (d) Reclassification to any higher level shall be contingent upon such additional work being available and required to be performed by the employer. (e) The parties are committed to modernising the terms of the Agreement and to addressing the issues associated with training in an endeavour to finalise matters by 1 January 1990.
