Hi all
I have just interviewed for a job in the Public service at the moment and have been working in a similar role (public service) since 2009 and am now at the fifth point on the scale. I was told at interview that if I were to accept this job (same grade and role) I will have to drop back to the first point of the scale (even though I am not a new entrant to the public service). Is this true? I thought it was only new entrants who had to start at the bottom of the scale?
Thanks
