Dear members, In response to concerns that you might not be considered for a salary increase if you do not complete the Evolve form we advise; All salaries below the maximum of a grade are required to be reviewed annually by salary review committees which include staff representatives. The criteria (attached) outlined in the General Staff Collective Agreement (CEA) together with the job description (JD) are to be used for salary progression and merit and bonus payments. * And remember under E4.2 of the CEA affordability and market relativity are not criteria listed for salary progression and merit and bonus payments. What you can do To Members 1. Complete the Evolve form with the disclaimer that you do not wish the information to be used to inform your annual salary review. 2. Using the attached criteria identify which are relevant to your job and check off where you believe you have consistently exceeded expectations. Provide examples/evidence 3. Seek a short meeting with your manager (you could do this at the same time as Evolve meeting) 4. Ask your manager to check where they believe you have you have consistently exceeded expectations 4. Ask that this information along with your JD is used by the review committees to review your salary To TEU Manager members We are keeping this as simple as possible with you in mind. You could check off the criteria, as per our advice to members above, at the same time as the Evolve meeting. Once complete this information can be forwarded to the salary review committees. *There is a right of appeal “where a case can be made that the salary review criteria have not been sufficiently addressed” all members who received no or insufficient increases should contact TEU which will support appropriate appeals. TEU with the TEU lawyer is arranging to meet with the employer next week. Regards Jane Kostanich Organiser
