Remuneration — Teaching Service

Overview

Teaching service remuneration policy has been designed to assist with the achievement of the following key objectives.

Value of the work
Value of the work is fairly determined relative to the roles, responsibilities, skill levels and accountability requirements of the various types and levels of work.

Attraction and retention
Attraction and retention of the best possible people to meet the current and future demands and challenges of the Victorian Government education system.

Recognition and reward
Recognition and reward for the quality of the work and contribution to the achievement of improved learning outcomes for students in the government school system.

The Teaching Service Remuneration Policy (refer to the Policy and Guidelines tab) provides policy and information concerning remuneration for employees in the teaching service (other than the executive class) including the following:

• remuneration or salary package
• remuneration on employment, transfer or promotion
• attraction
• principal class remuneration review
• education support and paraprofessional class — salary range review
• annual progression
• accelerated progression — performance and retention

Legislation, orders made under that legislation and industrial instruments are cross-referenced where relevant. Unless indicated otherwise, the policy and information applies to all teaching service positions other than executive class positions in both school and non-school locations. The Regional Director is the delegate in matters concerning principals and teaching service employees in non-school locations.

For the avoidance of doubt, in this policy, in relation to employees who are employed in non-school work locations, references to 'the principal' are to be read as references to 'the Regional Director', and references to 'school' are to be read as references to ‘non-school work location'.
