If you`re a teacher or staff member at a Queensland Lutheran school, it`s important to understand the Queensland Lutheran Schools Single Enterprise Agreement 2019. This agreement, which was approved by the Fair Work Commission on June 28, 2019, covers the pay and conditions of employment for teachers and staff at all Queensland Lutheran schools.
At its core, the agreement is designed to ensure that teachers and staff are paid fairly and have safe working conditions. It also includes provisions for professional development, leave entitlements, and other important employment benefits.
One of the key features of the agreement is a pay increase for teachers and staff. Under the new agreement, teachers will receive a 3% pay increase each year for the next three years. Non-teaching staff will receive a 2.5% pay increase each year for the same period. This means that by 2022, teachers and staff will have received a cumulative pay increase of 9%.
In addition to the pay increase, the agreement includes a number of other benefits for employees. For example, teachers will have access to five days of paid professional development leave each year. Staff will also have access to a range of leave entitlements, including personal and carer`s leave, compassionate leave, and parental leave.
For both teachers and staff, the agreement also includes provisions for safe working conditions. This includes a commitment to develop and implement workplace health and safety policies, as well as to provide appropriate training and equipment to staff.
Overall, the Queensland Lutheran Schools Single Enterprise Agreement 2019 is an important document for anyone working in a Lutheran school in Queensland. It provides important protections for employees, as well as fair compensation for their work. If you have any questions about the agreement, make sure to speak to your school`s human resources representative or union representative.
