Schedule overview
1 Purpose
PLEASE NOTE: All human resource management policy instruments are currently under review to ensure alignment with the new Enterprise Agreement. Contact the People Portfolio for more information.
To outline the milestones and processes for recognition of service by University Employees.
2 Scope
This schedule must be read in conjunction with the Employee Recognition and Reward Procedure and is subordinate to it.
3 Schedule
Employees will be formally recognised for their service to the University in a manner commensurate with their period of service.
3.1 Service milestones
Employees will be formally recognised by the University for completing the following periods of service:
- 10, 20, 25, 30 and 40 years.
An Employee's period of service is defined as paid service to the University and includes any period of paid leave.
Paid service includes continuing, fixed-term and casual employment.
No service prior to January 1967 will be recognised. The University may also informally acknowledge Employees for service at lesser milestones, however any such recognition is outside the scope of this Schedule.
3.2 Formal acknowledgement
All recipients will be publically acknowledged at an appropriate function hosted by the Office of the Vice-Chancellor, and will receive a certificate of appreciation. Employees who reach the service period of 25 years will also receive a commemorative gift.
Where an Employee attains a service milestone identified in Section 3.1 (above) but leaves the University prior to having this service formally recognised, they will be invited to attend the next occurrence of the relevant function, and will also be provided with the appropriate certificate of appreciation (and commemorative gift for Employees who had reached their 25 year service milestone).
