An IEU member received $8,000 in backpay after our union prevailed in a classification dispute in the magistrate’s court.
The member was employed as a casual teacher during term-time at a special assistance school when they later realised they had been appointed at an incorrect classification level.
Our union’s industrial team supported the member in addressing the classification issue.
Employer digs in over length of service calculation
The employer sought to apply a divisor of 260 working days to calculate the member’s years of service and backpay entitlement.
