1.1.1 PURPOSE AND STRUCTURE

The Human Resources (H.R.) Manual is a consolidated reference on employment
conditions and entitlements for employees of Australia Post.
The manual consists of two volumes which document Australia Post's employment
conditions and entitlements. It provides an authoritative and consistent source of
information for everyday personnel enquires and issues.

The contents of the H.R. Manual includes industrial awards and agreements, the
Australia Post Principal Determination, current rates of pay and employment
conditions. The large section on employment conditions supplements and expands on
other reference material such as:

- Industrial Awards and Agreements

- Australia Post Determinations

- Long Service Leave (Commonwealth Employees) Act 1976

- Maternity Leave (Commonwealth Employees) Act 1973

- Commonwealth Employees' Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988

- Racial Discrimination Act

- Sex Discrimination Act

- Equal Employment Opportunity (Commonwealth Authorities) Act

- Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Act



1.1.2 H.R. MANUAL NOT A LEGAL DOCUMENT

phraseology. It is intended to provide a uniform and consisitent interpretation and
guide on administering employment conditions and entitlements.

KEEPING THE MANUAL UP TO DATE

SUB-SECTION 1.2

1.2.1
The rates and conditions outlined in the H.R. manual are subject to change as a result
of any of the following:

- Legislative change

- AIRC Awards or Agreements

- Australia Post Determinations

- Australia Post decisions.

1.2.2
Advice of changes to the manual will normally be provided by the Corporate Human
Resources Group. Amendments to relevant sections in the manual will be provided
concurrently or as soon as possible after the initial advice. The on-line version is
automatically amended as changes occur and hence it is always up to date. Users
with access to the on-line version may read or print any part of the manual as required.


1.2.3
To ensure that your H.R. Manual is current, amendments to the manual should be
made as they are issued and the details recorded on the amendment record sheet at
