The AASC Collective Employment Agreement (CEA) has many unique features e.g. generous professional development provisions and institute leave which means the three day ARA Christmas/New Year close-down is not counted as Annual Leave
We negotiate progressive collective agreements on behalf of academic staff at ARA. Join Us to take advantage of our Collective Employment Agreement and benefits such as higher salaries, flexible study-leave provisions, more part time hours, end-of-year leave and more.
$364 per year split evenly over 26 pay periods (i.e. paid at $14 per fortnight).
$84 per year plus the same proportion of $280 per year, split evenly over 26 pay periods (e.g. a 0.5 proportional tutor pays $84 + 0.5 x $280 = $224 per year, which becomes $224 / 26 = $8.62 per fortnight).
50% of the full-time fee. That is $7 will be deducted from your wages per fortnight.
