Policy Updates 90-day trial clauses: With the re-introduction of 90-day trial clauses, the ECC have updated the following Individual Employment Agreements, found in the Member Portal. ● ● Individual Employment Agreement v2 Permanent Non-Teaching Staff ● ● Individual Employment Agreement v2 Permanent Teaching Staff ● ● Individual Employment Agreement v3 FIXED TERM Less than 6 months ● ● Individual Employment Agreement v2 FIXED TERM 6-12 months ● ● Individual Employment Agreement v2 FIXED TERM 12 months plus Enrolment agreement template: ECC is working on an update to the ECC enrolment agreement. In the meantime, please use the Ministry template but only change to using that if you really must because the Ministry template lacks some clauses that the old ECC template had. Pay Parity toolkit The ECC has updated the Pay Parity Toolkit – it now includes Full Parity and a range of other updates: ● ● We have added advice from NZQA to support you to make qualification group assessments ● ● Relievers (no longer have six week block requirement – six continuous weeks to be counted for progression; now everything counts) ● ● Owners/managers (not employed) – ECC has still had no response from the Ministry of Education (we have been waiting nearly six months). ● ● Other minor improvements Scan QR code for more information ECC Conference 2024: SUCCESS THROUGH WELLBEING All ECE professionals should mark their calendars for the biggest and brightest conference in the ECE sector.
