Hi Chris,

I use the HR letter and forms, but this is the sort of PD that Business
Managers need, have been in this job two years and have yet to see an
Information session or Professional Development session offered on these
issues, a lot of the time it is ring the Call Centre.   HRMS Training covers
how to use it, but the policy and guidelines is find out the information
however you can.

I know first hand what a minefield Local Payroll employees can be, has taken
me till earlier this year to have OHC and Canteen staff paid centrally, some
have worked in the same position for 10 years plus and were still being paid
casually with no benefits accumulated.  I am but one school, how many others
out there have followed the same procedure set down by their predecessor!

I looked with some interest at the contract and job description that you
included with your response to Annette's request, however my interest turned
to concern as I read through both documents.  Hopefully the following will
be of assistance in ensuring that employment of all school staff is done
according to Department policy and the law.  By the way, although I have
sought some advice on this matter I have not and will not divulge to anyone
else, names or schools.  

The first thing is that most of the information that Annette was seeking,
including the offer of employment, is on HRWeb.  While this may not
necessarily be the case in this instance, the conditions of employment set
out on the various pages of HRWeb apply equally to all employees in schools.
Sometimes there is a view expressed that these policies, including rates of
pay, leave, offer of employment, employment type, termination provisions
etc. are different for school council employees/locally paid staff. This is
not the case.  

Now some specifics:

1.                  There is a sample offer of employment letter for s15
employees (this means school council employees) on HRWeb at
http://www.eduweb.vic.gov.au/edulibrary/public/hr/procedures/SSOofflet.doc .
Schools should use this as a staring point and modify as necessary to meet
their needs.  All HR forms, including the employment offer is available on
the forms page on HRWeb at
http://www.eduweb.vic.gov.au/hrweb/resources/forms.htm 

2.                  Industrial agreements (i.e. SSO agreement) are already
in place.  What the school is doing is making an offer of employment.
Amounts to the same thing, but "Agreement" on the document creates
confusion.

3.                  Ministerial Order number 154 that is quoted in the
agreement is out of date.  It's now order 188

4.                  The hourly rate quoted does not equate to any of the
minimums under Order 188.  If it is intended to be a casual rate such an
agreement goes to the poor practice of long term employment on casual rates
i.e. casual rates are only to be used where the employment really is of a
casual nature, meaning it is of an irregular and temporary nature.  

5.                  Clause 5 breaches the SSO Agreement, Order 188 and
Department policy.  The department has processes in place (see HRWeb) to
deal with unsatisfactory performance or misconduct.  They should be
followed.  

6.                  What is the point of the termination clause (clause 6)
(see point 5)? Aside from the legality of this why can the school give only
14 days but the employee must give 30 days!!!

7.                  Clause 7 intends this to be a fixed-term contract, but
they end up with an ongoing contract because clause 7 doesn't do the job.
Bottom line is use the sample letter on HRWeb and the employment details
template that goes with it.

We have just employed a new co-ordinator for our OSHC program.  Does anyone
have a copy of a contract they could send me.  It would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks
