Overview
School staffing policy seeks to balance the obligation to select employees through open merit-based processes with the legitimate expectations of employees with priority status (those who are excess to workplace requirements, have compassionate transfer status or are disability retirement benefits pensioners found fit for employment).
Employees who have compassionate transfer status are to be interviewed for positions they apply for on School Jobs Vic at or below their classification level or salary range.
Disability retirement benefits pensioner employees who are found fit for employment are to be placed into a suitable position at or below their classification level or salary range.
The Department also has statutory obligations under Section 76 of the State Superannuation Act 1988 in respect of employees receiving a temporary benefit, and pensioners under the age of 60 receiving a disability retirement benefit, who have been medically assessed as fit to return to work by Emergency Services and State Super (ESSS).
For comprehensive policy and information concerning the management of employees with compassionate transfer status and managing the return to work of disability and temporary benefits pensioners, refer to the Policy and Guidelines tab.
