Principal class salary review

The salary range of an employee in the principal class will be reviewed each year in the context of any changes to the work value of the position, the principal class employee’s performance and any other relevant factors. This review may result in no change, a higher salary within the employee’s current salary range or movement to a higher or lower salary range within the employee’s classification level.

A salary review cannot result in movement to a higher classification level. Movement to a higher classification level may only occur through promotion to an advertised vacancy.

The salary review cannot result in a salary range lower than an employee’s salary range determined on appointment to that position. In the case of a principal, the review cannot result in a salary range lower than the salary range determined by the school's confirmed Student Resource Package.

Salary on movement to a higher salary range following a salary review is set at the minimum of the higher salary range. Where the employee had been in receipt of salary at or above the minimum salary of the higher salary range, the salary on movement to the higher salary range will be determined as if all of the employee’s service at or above the minimum salary of the higher position had been at that higher salary range.

Salary on movement to a lower salary range following a salary review is determined as if all of the employee’s service at or above that lower salary range had been at that lower salary range.
