Hello!
I've been working for 8 years in the public sector of the HSE now. I started in Grade IV (Clerical) and then got promoted to Grade V (Clerical) roughly 2 years ago.
I have been promoted to Grade VII (Clerical) which begins Monday (once signed). I have been informed by my HR department that I will be on the first salary scale of this grade. I was told there was some calculation applied and it comes out at the first point.
The starting scale of Grade VII is currently higher than my current point on the Grade V scale (by about 3k).
This was slightly disheartening as I was anticipating a roughly like-for-like jump to the same scale point. Obviously, I will benefit greatly in the long-run but I worked hard for the promotion and when I approached about requesting it, it was on the basis of getting higher wages for the recent work I have accomplished. HR are going to have a deeper discussion with me on this after the weekend to explain how it arrived at that point.
Does anyone here know if that's correct? I'll be perfectly honest in that I haven't been following my scale position much and I didn't look at it when it moved from IV to V (I had assumed it was like-for-like).
Thanks!
