Reminder about concurrence
22 July 2010
Concurrence refers to the process of agreement to pay additional remuneration to employees for duties performed beyond their normal responsibilities.
Under the State Sector Act 1988 the State Services Commissioner has delegated the authority to the Secretary for Education to agree (grant “concurrence”) to a board of trustees paying an employee remuneration and other benefits that are in addition to those specified in the collective agreement or promulgated individual employment agreement (IEA) covering that employee.
An agreement between a board of trustees and employee to provide additional remuneration or benefits is not legal or binding without the Secretary’s concurrence.
A new section in the Managing Your School guide, Understanding School Employment, explains concurrence in detail and what the process is for boards wishing to apply for it. Read this new section at this link:
