Annual and biennial increments

The payment of annual and bi-annual increments is calculated off the salary review date. This will trigger increment payments regardless if the staff member is on a temporary transfer or not. The annual/bi-annual increment will be paid on the substantive role.

There is no automated notification that the annual or bi-annual increment has been processed. Staff members can check their payslips through HORUS, or contact their Local HR area for confirmation.

The HR Systems team will receive an exceptions report each pay period to notify of any increments that have not been able to be processed. Depending on the complexity of the situation, the Local HR area may be required to remediate HRMS data.

The following policies are applicable:

• ANUP_000619- Payment of Salary Increments
• The Australian National University Enterprise Agreement 2013-2016, Salary and Benefits-Incremental salary progression

The automation of the annual and biennial increments will be tied to satisfactory performance as recorded throughout the performance and development review process. It is expected that all staff will transition to the online PDR over the next 12 months, and the functionality to check for a performance review in place will be turned on then.

If a staff member has received an unsatisfactory performance rating on their PDR, they will not receive an annual or biennial increment at their due date.  

Yes, annual and biennial increments will be paid over the next 12 months without checking for the PDR completion date. It is expected that all staff will transition to the online PDR over the next 12 months, and the functionality to check for a performance review in place will be turned on then.

The salary review date would be different for a staff member's substantive position and their temporary transfer position.  If a staff member is on temporary transfer in a position at ANUO5 or below, a salary increment would be due on the temporary transfer position annually from the effective date of their temporary transfer.

If a staff member is on temporary transfer in a position at ANUO6 or above, a salary increment would be due on the temporary transfer position biennially from the effective date of their temporary transfer. 

A salary increment for their substantive position would follow the normal procedure.  The date that is noted in the 'salary review date' field in HRMS is the salary review date for a staff members' substantive position. 

Increments will be paid on the staff members' substantive position biennially.
