Does any one know the rate of pay/award for a diploma qualified Supervisor/Educator with several years experience, who now works in the office most of the time, but fills shifts when required? Is this just an administration position or is there something in children's services that describes the position and hourly rate?

Thd staff member has had her diploma since 2010/11. The fill in shifts are either supervising or assisting but not both. I forgot to mention this is in OSHC. The office work is at head office 4 days per week umless she is filling a shift in one of the services.
Thanks.

Hi I would like to know what the after tax pay is for a 1st yr diploma qualified educator is? Non room leader. If possible in pic?

Im a permanent part time and i’m only getting $20.08 an hr at before and after school care and i reckon for what i am getting a week is ridiculous

Hi Lorina,
I have a question relating the Award Rates... i have been working on my current centre for 1 and a half years . When I first started working I was starting my Cert 3 course but then I changed my enrrolment to a Diploma wich is my current course A friend told me that when I finish my Cert 3 Subjects I could ask for a pay rise.. But when I did it, the director told me I can’t because I need even to provide A cert 3 certification wich I can’t because im doing a Diploma , Or finish my Diploma and get the qualification in order to get the psy rise... on the another hand Im being paid as a level 2.1 - $19.42. But on my understanding I am level 3.1 ( studying towards a Diploma) wich means my rate should be $21.29 is this correct.

Thanks for your help. Diana

Hi Lorina,
Thank you very much for your help, yes I’m an assistant at the Nursery room and I have been in charge of the room when Group Leader has been on holidays. I finished My Cert III Subjects like a month ago. And I have told my boss and provide screenshots of my progress but She has told me that, I need to provided a Cert 3 certificated. What she knows I cant provided because Im studing a Diploma not a Cert III. Also I told her I could ask for a letter from the school with results and progress but She said That wasn’t enough. And also as I mentioned on my last message I believe that I haven’t been paid what I should since the beginning. Im being paid as a level 2.1 - $19.42. But on my understanding I am level 3.1 ( studying towards a Diploma) wich means my rate should be $21.29 is this correct.
Thanks Diana

Hi Lorina,
I’ll try to get a letter from school with these units grades and talk to her again...
So just confirming That I understood well.. it means that:
Level 2.1 is studing towards - Cert III . And ..
Level 3A1 is studing towards - Diploma ?
Or it refers to the position in my case I started as a Float Educator and have been promoted to Assistant Edu since January.

Thanks Diana

Hello,
Could someone please advise me on my correct CASUAL rate.

I'm currently studying my ECT. I began in October, 2017.
I hold my Diploma since June 2015.
I have worked in the industry since April 2013.

Currently I'm being paid $29.96p/h, I just want to be sure it is correct.

Thank you,
Tricia
