5. Application of Selection Criteria
The Authority will score employees against the selection criteria in a reasonable, fair and consistent manner. At least two managers will apply the criteria independently with advice from a HR Business Partner, and the scores will be added up and an average applied.
The Authority will not apply the selection criteria in a discriminatory manner, for example, based on part-time status, pregnancy or maternity leave. If an employee within the pool for selection is disabled, the Authority will consider reasonable adjustments to the selection procedure to remove any disadvantage that an employee with a disability would otherwise face.
