28. Payment of Salaries and Deductions

This Part shall apply in common to all Trades and Services Staff except where otherwise expressly provided.

28.1 Salary will be paid fortnightly directly into any bank, building society or credit union account nominated by the staff member or, if the University so determines, by cheque.  On the written authority of a staff member, the University will make deductions from a staff member's salary for employee superannuation contributions and may make other deductions at the staff member's request. 

28.2 Trades and Services Staff members will receive a statement of details of salary payment including gross salary, tax payable, any higher duties allowance, arrears and any deductions and current annual leave and long service leave accruals but not the staff member's bank account details.

28.3 Where a pay-day falls on a public holiday observed by the University salaries shall be paid on the preceding day on which the university is open for business.

28.4 With 4 weeks' notice a Trades and Services Staff member shall be entitled to up to 12 weeks' advance payment for periods of paid leave in excess of 10 days.

28.5 Where a staff member's salary classification changes, that date of effect of the change will become the date for future incremental increases.  Payment of salary increases will be made on or as soon as possible after the date of the increase. Where an increase has effect from 1 January payment may be made on the first pay-day in February.

28.6 Upon notification by the staff member, an underpayment to a staff member will be corrected in the next pay period or, by agreement between the staff member and the University in special circumstances or cases of hardship, within 2 days.
