The Police Association and SAPOL sought ratification of the agreement in the South Australia Industrial Relations Commission on September 17, 2001.
The agreement was ratified and SAPOL will now back pay members to the rates listed below. The back pay is an employer responsibility and SAPOL has undertaken to advise members of the arrangements to be put into place in due course.
Any queries relating to back pay should be directed to SAPOL.
From the first pay week commencing on or after July 1, 2001, the following rates will apply.
Commander . 91848 Chief Superintendent 88702 Superintendent 81644 Chief Inspector 77310 Inspector 72817 Senior Sergeant Increment 5 56432 Increment 4 55476 Increment 3 54510 Increment 2 53545 Increment 1 52582 Sergeant Increment 4 50655 Increment 3 49690 Increment 2 48725 Increment 1 47760 Senior Constable Increment 5 46570 Increment 4 45618 Increment 3 44657 Increment 2 43700 Increment 1 42741 Constable Increment 11 42741 Increment 10 41780 Increment 9 40819 Increment 8 39868 Increment 7 38937 Increment 6 38033 Increment 5 37128 Increment 4 36223 Increment 3 35320 Increment 2 34415 Increment 1 33510 Probationary Constable 33051 Cadet 29746 Community Constable Increment 3 32546 Increment 2 31734 Increment 1 Senior Community Constable Increment 4 35827 Increment 3 34988 Increment 2 34173 Increment 1 33359 Unrestricted Community Constable Increment 2 37543 Increment 1 36684 Non Banded Employees Senior Sergeant 48914 Sergeant 43531 Senior Constable 39943 Constable 37261 These rates represent a 4% increase in wages. An additional increment has also been added to the ranks of senior sergeant, sergeant and senior constable. All senior constables, sergeants and senior sergeants on the existing top increment of their rank will move to the new increment on July 1, 2001, unless they have completed fewer than 12 months’ service at that increment, then they will progress after completing 12 months’ service.
Members will notice that there are still four increments in the rank of sergeant. This is as a result of removing the previous first increment and then adding the additional increment to the top of the sergeant rank. This was done to ensure relativity between the fifth increment rate of senior constable and first increment rate of sergeant. All sergeants who were on the previous increment one rate translate to the new increment one rate on July 1, 2001, and further incremental progression shall be after 12 months. All other sergeants maintain their current increment date. Consequently, sergeants on the previous increment two and three rates move to the new increment one and two rates in the above structure on July 1, 2001, and progress to the next increment on their existing increment date. markcarroll@pasa.asn.au
