The pay rise you may not have heard about!

The restructure to the incremental scale and the removal of the bottom two levels has resulted in an interesting situation. Any teacher who gains a new appointment will move to the appropriate increment point based on their years of service. For example a teacher who is currently a G4 earning $50,184 now on a contract would move in this agreement to G2 being $52.643 + $1,000. However when they get a new contract or are appointed to an advertised on-going vacancy in the following year they would translate on appointment to A2. That means their salary will be $58,825 in January 09! This also includes teachers on a contract who are translated to ongoing positions under the new agreement!
