The Statutory and Other Offices Remuneration Tribunal has made its annual determination in relation to the Chief Executive Service and Senior Executive Service.

In summary the Tribunal has determined a 2% increase to the minimum and maximum of the remuneration range for each of the eight SES levels on and from 1 October 2000 and a further 2% increase on and from 1 April 2001.

In addition, in certain circumstances, SES officers will now have the opportunity to progress along the range within each remuneration level during the term of their appointment.

The Tribunal has also determined that there will be two separate allowances to deal with the issues of attracting and retaining suitably qualified officers within the public sector.

The Determination was published in the Government Gazette of 8 September 2000 and is available from the internet at http://www.remtribunals.nsw.gov.au/stat/repmain.html
