receives a rating of superior or higher will progress to the first additional pay point.
56.6. The Secretary may approve further movement within the additional pay points for
employees at , Executive Level 1 and Executive Level 2 and broadbanded equivalents.
Reasons outlining the decision to approve or deny movement to an additional pay point will
be provided to the employee, and where requested will be in writing.
56.7. Non-ongoing employees will be eligible for salary advancement where they have been
engaged at the same classification to perform the same duties continuously for six months
during the PDF cycle. Non-ongoing employees are subject to the same qualifying ratings
under the PDF as ongoing employees. This clause does not affect the Secretary’s discretion
to determine salary on the commencement of each period of engagement.

period aggregating 6 months or longer during the PDF cycle, then the employee will be

level.

classification level, subject to meeting the requirements of the PDF.

a higher position in the Department for at least six months of the PDF cycle; or
o are non-ongoing and have not met the requirements of clause 56.4 of this section;
will not move to the next pay point within that classification salary range. These employees
will then not be able to progress to another pay point within the classification salary range
until the salary review in the next year.
56.11. For the purposes of this clause, ‘reasonable cause’ refers to employees absent from duty due
to the following circumstances:
o long term or frequent absence due to illness or injury (including affecting the
employee or their immediate family or household); or
