1. As developed, Company Classifications identifies where a role definition changes to document the roles and responsibilities that better align with the modern sawmilling environment. These Classifications have been developed to enable pathways for employees which were non-existent through existing means (either through the Agreement or applicable Awards). Company Position Descriptions or MOU criteria provide additional details for these roles.
2. Role definitions may also align with those specified within the relevant Awards.
3. Where role definitions have not been classified within the Company Classifications and the role exists within the Company’s structure, the applicable Award classification stands to define the role.
4. If a role is identified within the Company structure which has not been defined, the Parties will collaborate to define and introduce.
5. If documentation relating to these classifications and pathways requires review, update or modification, the Parties will complete this via the ECC.
6. Wages for these Company Classifications are documented in Schedule A.
