Labour and Social History: Member of working party to digitise and collate the archives of the National Pay Equity Coalition for lodging in the NSW State Library

The National Pay Equity Coalition (NPEC) flourished between 1987 and 2012, responding to the failure of the Australian national Nurses’ 1986 Equal Remuneration case, Award Restructuring and decentralised enterprise bargaining. NPEC activists and strategists, who included or went on to become, senior public servants, unionists and a member of NSW Parliament, developed the approach to pay equity that underpinned the historical undervaluation methodology and recognition of service work as skilled.

  • help managers and HR personnel to write position descriptions, select employees, manage performance and encourage career development
  • The tools are based on a taxonomy

    • The Full Bench in the Aged Care Work Value Decision determined that an interim increase in in the modern award minimum wages applicable to direct care workers is justified by work value reasons. In reaching this decision, the Full Bench had particular regard to the report of Associate Professor Junor who applied the Spotlight Tool to the relevant roles. The Spotlight Tool is a job and skills analysis tool designed as an aid in identifying, naming and classifying ‘invisible skills’ used in undertaking service work processes that are not directly observable. ‘Invisible’ in this context means ‘hidden’, ‘under-defined’, ‘under-specified’ or ‘under-codified’. The Full Bench concluded that: ‘Assoc Prof Junor’s evidence was cogent, probative and relevant to our assessment of whether a variation of modern award minimum wages in the relevant awards is “justified by work value reasons”’ (s.157(2)(a)).
