Update on our 2021/22 remuneration review process

To re-cap our approach to the 2021/22 remuneration review process, we are adopting a targeted approach to the annual market rate alignment, weighting more towards  lower graded roles, but still providing progression up to 100%, and for those in the 100% to 110% range, where there is an approved rating of exceeds or significantly exceeds requirements.

The People Branch has been working diligently to implement the outcomes of the Market Review and overdue annual progression increases for those employed on the PSA and FECA collective agreements and employees on Individual Employment Agreements. Implementation is more complex this year because of the amount of time that has passed (due to the time it took to reach agreement with our union partners) and the fact that we’ve gone through significant organisational change during that period.

Much of the system work is now complete and the market review increases will be payable on 9 March.

Individual letters regarding the outcomes of the market review will not be issued. However, you can view your role grade information on Home Base.

If you have changed roles since 1 July, depending on your situation, you may receive backdated market increases for more than one role. Any employees who have specific questions regarding their packages, including pay range positions, can contact the remuneration team.

Managers of employees who are due for salary progression between July and December will be sent letters the week commencing 28 February for onward distribution to their employees. Payroll is working to process the overdue progressions as soon as possible from pay date 23 March 2022.

Please note these outcomes will not apply to employees employed on the PFU collective agreement because agreement has not been reached with PFU on remuneration review outcomes and PFU bargaining continues.
