The majority of staff will be appointed to a position with a determined classification level assigned (e.g. HEO or Academic). Normally, a new staff member will commence on the first incremental step within a salary classification level and progress through the incremental scale, without interruption, based on performance of each successive year of continuous service.

The University will also take into account a current and prospective staff member’s qualifications and prior relevant experience in determining the appropriate incremental step within the level for their appointment. On consideration of their qualifications and experience a new staff member can be appointed at a higher incremental step than the first increment of the base salary level.
