Accelerated Incremental Increase

Summary:

An accelerated incremental increase in salary may be recommended where the employee's performance consistently and significantly exceeds the agreed performance indicators documented in the BUILD Performance Management and Development Review form, provided that:

  • an employee's accelerated incremental adjustment is made on one occasion per year, ie on the increment date; and
  • the number of increments (within the range of the employee's classification level) an employee can receive in any one year of completed service is two (2);  that is, the annual incremental increase plus one additional incremental step

For example, an employee at USQ Level 5 Step 1, may receive an accelerated incremental increase to Level 5 Step 3 only (ie the annual increase to Step 2 plus one). 

Accelerated incremental progression may be granted on any step except where the employee is only one step from the top of the salary level.

A request for an accelerated increment must be made in writing to the relevant delegate and should accompany the completed BUILD Performance Management and Development Review form.
