  6. Ongoing contingent funded research contracts • Grant funded research staff will have the opportunity to be placed on ongoing contingent funded contracts, consistent with the University’s “Better Supporting Research Staff at UWA” paper. Conversion to this category requires: • Three years or more continuous service; • Second or subsequent consecutive contract; and • 0.5 FTE

  7. Increase in PhD salary entry point • Entry level for PhDs will increase from Step 6 to Step 7 at Level A from the date of certification.

  8. Academic Probation – Fixed Term Employment

  9. Workloads – Professional Staff Recognises the need for: • Balance between working life and family/social responsibilities. • Reasonable workloads and responsibility of supervisors to ensure workloads are fair, equitable and manageable. • Identifies primary indicators of unreasonable workload (ongoing need to work excessive hours and inability to clear accrued leave). • Other factors to consider, nature of work, work patterns, work environment, volume of work, employee turnover and employee performance. • Establishes the General Staff Consultative Committee as a forum to facilitate consultation on matters concerning unreasonable workload.

  10. Reinstatement of some 2004 provisions • Some provisions were removed in the 2006 Agreement due to the Government’s Higher Education Workplace Relations Requirements. • Return of fixed term employment categories. • No net job loss clause to retain staff at April 2000 levels.
