STANDARD JOB MODEL Sample Clauses

STANDARD JOB MODEL. ‌ 8.1 Purpose, objectives and framework‌ (a) A key feature of this Agreement is the introduction of a new employment model for Teacher Aides referred to as the standard job model. The employment model engages Teacher Aides in a whole job framework rather than an hour by hour approach and provides for simplified and standardised arrangements. (b) The management of hours (includes maximisation of hours) and accumulated day off arrangements (including provisional days) that applied under the Department of Education Teacher Aides’ Certified Agreement 2018 are replaced by the whole job approach. (c) The objective under the new employment model is to employ Teacher Aides (including Teacher Aides- ALM/EI/Braille) on an optimal part-time arrangement called a standard job. A standard job consists of 33.75 hours per week worked each week of the school term, of which 30 hours will be paid and 3.75 hours deferred to be paid through school vacation periods.

This is to enable Teacher Aide support for periods before and after school to support activities such as bus and playground duties and other preparation activities required to support student outcomes. Note: The requirement to perform bus and playground duty is set out in clause 14.2. (d) The standard job model includes regularising the way hours are to be worked in order to provide a streamlined system of work during school terms to ensure ongoing wages throughout school vacation periods without the need for accumulated day off arrangements or make up time if absent on leave throughout the school year. (Refer clause 8.7 for payment of wages on school vacations) (e) This Agreement provides a framework to facilitate the employment of Teacher Aides (currently engaged on less than 30 hours per week) on the optimal part-time arrangement through systematic access to hours as they become available or vacancies arise. The system will actively prioritise shifting existing permanent Teacher Aides to the optimal part-time arrangement. (f) Full-time employment continues under the standard job model with the rostered hours comprising 42.75 hours per week, of which 38 hours will be paid and 4.75 hours deferred to be paid through school vacation periods, unless preserved arrangements apply to the Teacher Aide as per clause 8.5. (g) A standard job should be made up of five days comprising 6.75 rostered hours each day. However, where a Teacher Aid...
