Experience to count. (a) For the purposes of determining the rate of wages payable by reference to the pay point of an employee, the employee shall be given credit for all professional allied health experience provided it is relevant to the position being undertaken at Ramsay Health Care. This will include time worked with other employers either before or during employment periods with Ramsay Health Care up to a total of 1976 hours per year . The Employer will determine what is and is not relevant to the position with any offer of employment will clearly state the pay point level being offered. Each pay point requires a full working year of experience (1976 hours) before progressing to the next level. These 1976 hours includes all paid leave taken throughout the year. The next pay increment shall be operative from the next pay period commencing on or after the date the increment is earned, i.e. the completion of 1976 hours. The onus of proof of previous experience shall be on the employee. Proof of previous experience is to be provided within the first 4 weeks of employment. Where such proof is not provided upon commencement the Manager will conservatively determine a pay level – back pay will be processed provided the proof of prior experience is received within the first 4 weeks of employment. Proof of hours worked with employers other than Ramsay Health Care is to be provided on a regular basis so these hours can be added to the employee’s total. Back pay will not be payable if these hours take the employee up to the next pay level but shall be applicable from the first pay period commencing on or after the date the proof was provided. On termination of employment, each employee shall be given a Statement of Service confirming dates employed with Ramsay Health Care and total ordinary hours worked.

For new employees, such proof must be provided within 4 weeks of engagement. If not provided within 4 weeks of engagement, wages will be paid at the lowest paypoint of the appropriate level until such time as proof satisfactory to the employer is provided.
Experience to count consideration. To access this, you will need to supply a current Statement of Service (on company letterhead and signed by the appropriate employer’s representative), outlining length of service, hours and duties undertaken.
