Preparing for 2025 bargaining

Benchmarks
The Joint Job Evaluation Plan Benchmarks are the sole criteria for the classification of jobs in the Community Social Services sector.
A benchmark is not a job description. It is a number of duties, described in broad terms, that represents a level of work and responsibility. A job description is a detailed list of duties required by an employer at a particular agency.
These documents will provide your benchmark rate code and/or grid code. To find your wage rates, look in your Wage Grid, in the Key Documents section above.
