Some award classifications provide lists of indicative:

• job titles
• roles
• tasks, duties and skills.

Indicative job titles are examples of the types of jobs and tasks that an employee in the classification could be doing, or could be required to do.

Lists of indicative job titles and tasks aren’t exhaustive. This means that they’re not the only jobs an employee could be doing to be classified at a particular level.

Example: Level 2 in the Retail Award

Marni is a Retail Employee Level 2 under the Retail Award. Marni works for a video game store.

Marni is an expert player of two of the most popular video games sold by the store and is skilled at playing many others. The indicative job titles for a Retail Employee Level 2 are:

(a) forklift operator

(b) ride on equipment operator.

Marni doesn’t operate a forklift or ride on equipment.

She works as a sales assistant and uses her extensive specialist knowledge of gaming and games to answer difficult questions from customers. She does gaming demonstrations in the store and helps customers to set up their gaming systems.

Marni is a Level 2 employee because she’s performing work at a higher skill level than a Level 1 employee. She’s not a Level 3 employee because she’s not required to do tasks that are similar to the indicative tasks or job titles for Level 3.
