Hi
I was on the maximum of Grade 5 scale i.e. point 5 when I was then promoted to Grade 7 on 1st point as per Circular 08/2019 – Starting Pay on Promotion. This is correct as per the referenced circular.
However, I noticed the following anomaly: if I had been promoted to Grade 6 i.e. one grade lower, my salary would have actually been greater than my current Grade 7 point 1 salary. As my grade 5 salary is higher than the minimum of Grade 6 scale, I would be placed at the nearest point above my salary plus one point which is point 3 of Grade 6 salary scale.
There is a difference of +€321 Euro between grade 6 point 3 and Grade 7 point 1. I personally think this should warrant that I'd be placed on point 2 of Grade 7 as point 3 of Grade 6 sits between point 1 and 2 of Grade 7 scale.
I am not sure whether I should raise this with HR and would they be able to move me to Point 2 of Grade 7 scale. Have you come across this anomaly before?
It seems that despite the fact I am at the maximum of the scale, my experience is not relevant when being promoted to Grade 7 as anyone on any point of Grade 5 scale would also be placed on Point 1 of Grade 7 scale (except for LSI).
Any advice from experience? Thank you!
