7.10.1 Policy
QUT Council recognises that in exceptional circumstances it may be necessary to pay salary loadings to University staff as follows:
- a management loading in order to attract and retain high performing managers or to recognise the performance of significant management responsibility; or
- a market loading in order to attract an appropriate field of candidates and secure or retain the services of high performing staff.
Approval authorities for the payment of management and market loadings are outlined in MOPP Appendix 3 Schedule of Authorities and Delegations.
Top 7.10.2 Management loadings
A management loading may be paid to a senior staff position (SSG1 - SSG6) and, in exceptional circumstances, to an academic position with significant management responsibility, at the discretion of the authorising officer.
Where a management loading in excess of 20% is considered appropriate to be paid to a senior staff position (SSG1-SSG 3) or to an academic position, the relevant executive dean or head of division must submit a recommendation outlining the reasons why to the authorising officer.
Management loadings are payable for up to five years and are renewable.
Top 7.10.3 Market loadings – academic and professional staff
A market loading may be attached to certain appointments where at least one of the following criteria for paying a market loading has been met:
- there is sustained difficulty in recruiting and/or retaining high performing staff in an area;
- there is evidence that loss of a particular staff member from a position deemed critical to the continued efficient development of the University's infrastructure would have a significant detrimental impact on the University; or
- for professional staff, there is evidence of disparity between University salary levels and the external private sector and/or comparable universities.
Market loadings are payable for up to three years, may be reviewed and adjusted annually, and are renewable.
Market loadings are not payable to senior managers.
Top 7.10.4 Reporting
The Human Resource Director monitors approval of all salary loadings and reports to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) and the Vice-Chancellor as appropriate and as required.
