The WRC recommended that a healthcare organisation implement a job evaluation agreement for a senior manager from 28 December 2017. The recommendation was dated 16 July 2024.
The worker’s union said an independent evaluation had recommended regrading the role to functional officer/general manager level, but the agreement had not been implemented. The organisation said it accepted the evaluation and the worker’s duties, but needed approval from the parent Department to proceed.
The officer found the dispute well founded, noting that both sides accepted the evaluation outcome and that the worker had continued performing higher duties during a six-and-a-half-year process. The recommendation was to implement the agreement without delay from the evaluation date.
