If you want to be considered for a pay increase, you need to fill out an online form. On the form, you describe the performance and competencies you believe should be taken into account in the pay negotiations. You can find the form in mitHR under "Flows and Forms". It is recommend that you follow the video guide. More information can be found under the section "How do you fill in the pay negotiation form?" below. "Flows and Forms" will be available from 1 February 2025.
All employees who wish to submit information for the annual pay negotiations – also employees who can negotiate themselves – must use the pay negotiation form.
The period for submission of information for the annual pay negotiations is 1 - 24 February 2024.
HR distributes the information to the negotiating manager and union representative (unless you are negotiating yourself and choose not to involve your union representative).
Before you fill out the form, it is a good idea to familiarise yourself with the salary agreement catalogues, salary agreements and any local criteria that you have to meet. Please see "Salary agreements and salary agreement catalogues" below.
You can also ask your union representative for more information.
*) Please note that local salary criteria may apply.
Your form will now be shared with the manager responsible for the pay negotiation and union representative (unless you negotiate on your own behalf) who will use the information during the pay negotiations.
In the video, we mention that you can access your submission in mitHR for 18 months. Please note that this does not apply to your submission for 'Pay Negotiation 2024'. If you need to view your submission, you can request the text from your local HR department.
If you have multiple paid assignments at AU, please note that the process for providing information for pay negotiations is slightly different.

At the top of the motivation field, kindly specify which assigment your submission pertains to. For example, you can write "Motivation for salary improvement for my assignment: Laboratory Technician in Biomedicine."
If you wish to negotiate the salary for two or more assignments, please do not use the form in myHR. Instead, contact your local HR department.
