% break down for top range teacher
5/6. 2.99%
10/6. 9.75%
11/27. 3.99%
11/28. 4%
11/29. 4.9%
Total 25.63% when pay rises are expressed as compounding amounts.
Comparing starting pay to finishing pay ($118,063 to $151,419) = 28.25%
AEU use the over all percentage increase to make the total percentage look bigger and more attractive.
Basically all substantial pay rises pushed to the end of year which does nothing to accomodate this years high inflation.
Also last pay rise in the proposed eba is at the end of 2029, based on that you can assume your next pay rise after that would be the end of 2030 (assuming your next EBA is signed)
This means under this EBA you would receive 25.63% of pay rises over 5 years!
I'm not the smartest person getting around but my wife's a teacher so I've been reading through the proposed EBA tonight. Are my above comments correct? When you look into it these pay increases are nothing like the 35% on 3 you were asking for.
