Public service pay progression up in the air

May 20, 2014 in Information-Technology, Latest News, Scientists 0

Professionals Australia has raised concerns about the future of automatic salary progressions in public service pay bands after a government corporation raised scrapping them.

Public servants at Canberra-based Airservices Australia say they were sideswiped by a review they thought would improve conditions.

Professionals Australia is worried the pay freeze could set a trend across the federal bureaucracy as agreements for 160,000 Commonwealth workers are negotiated.

Staff are signing a petition against the agency’s proposal to save $2 million a year by removing salary upgrades within classifications.

It would force employees to make a business case for each incremental increase they wanted.

To smooth the way, the Professionals Australia union says Airservices Australia is offering to introduce small bonuses as lump-sum payments, although 75 per cent of staff would miss out on these financial carrots.
