Provided that any clerk who has been in receipt of such basic wage for a period of at least one (1) year shall not be required to remain on that wage until such clerk is eligible for higher wage by reason of length of service but shall be regarded for the purpose of further wage increases as a clerk, but for no other purpose, as having completed 6 years of service.

(ii) For wage determination purposes, classified officers, with the exception of development officers, shall commence as Grade I officers and progress to the next highest grade, annually subject to the satisfactory completion of each year of service.

NOTE: The rates of pay in this Award are intended to include the arbitrated wage adjustment payable under the 1 September 2005 Declaration of General Ruling and earlier Safety Net Adjustments and arbitrated wage adjustments. [Disputed cases are to be referred to the Vice President.] This arbitrated wage adjustment may be offset against any equivalent amount in rates of pay received by employees whose wages and conditions of employment are regulated by this Award which are above the wage rates prescribed in the Award. Such payments include wages payable pursuant to certified agreements, currently operating enterprise flexibility agreements, Queensland workplace agreements, award amendments to give effect to enterprise agreements and overaward arrangements. Absorption which is contrary to the terms of an agreement is not required.

Increases made under previous State Wage Cases or under the current Statement of Policy, excepting those resulting from enterprise agreements, are not to be used to offset arbitrated wage adjustments.
