Annual Pay Increases
If you have been on your salary step 12 months (equivalent service if you are fixed term or day relieving or have been on extended leave) you will automatically move to the next step on the scale. This will be automatic unless the school has initiated competence processes under clause 3.3 of the STCA or 2.3 of the ASTCA but your school will need to notify payroll.
G3+ teachers
You can progress annually to the top step of the scale, the G3+ maximum.
G1, G2, and G3 teachers
You can progress annually to the next to top step of the scale, the G1, G2, G3 maximum.
When you have been at your maximum step for three years
If you have been at your maximum step for three years and if you have higher qualifications, or if you have added a level 5 or better qualification which did not increase your qualification group and if you do not have a permanent unit you are likely to be eligible for the Service and Qualification increment (see 4.9 of the STCA, 3.18 of the ASTCA). Your field officer can give advice about this.
