As previously discussed, at the last EA meeting, Council provided a wage offer as follows:
Year 1 – 5.5%
Year 2 – 4.0%
Year 3 – 3.5%
Members provided feedback that they would prefer to receive 4% in Year 3 and also were keen to have a dollar amount as a safety net for employees on lower incomes. Members endorsed a counteroffer being put to Council.
Our counteroffer was:
Year 1 – 5.5% or $75.00 per week, whichever is greater
Year 2 – 4.0% or $60.00 per week, whichever is greater
Year 3 – 4.0% or $60.00 per week, whichever is greater
This equates to:
| IF YOUR WAGE IS: | COMPARATIVE % INCREASE EXAMPLE: |
| $71,000pa (or less) receive $75.00 p/w increase | An employee on $60,000pa equals a 6.5% increase |
| $78,000pa (or less) receive $60.00 p/w increase | $63,900 approximately a 4.9% increase |
| $78,000pa (or less) receive $60.00 p/w increase | $67,000 approximately a 4.7% increase |
This counter offer has been accepted by Council.
