I currently am at the top of the scale at say, 60K. I am now jumping two grades and HR have told me that they will only place me at the equivalent point +1 on the next scale ie. 62k. The job has more responsibility and accountability and i wouldn't get an increment until Sept 2012 as i wont be in my role 6months come this Sept.
I don't see anything wrong with this. Seems to be in accordance with standard practices in the Public Sector. I don't think you have any claim to negotiate
You're lucky!
I'm looking at moving from one public sector body into the civil service proper, and am being told that I will be put at the bottom of the salary scale for the grade (rules from the Dept Finance apparently), despite original competitions saying that it would take into account experience and salary.
I recently applied for and was successful at getting a new job in a public service organisation.

Has anyone else experienced this and if so, how did they successfully negotiate?

I thought this uninformed public service bashing was a thing of the past... obviously not...
You'll now get a pay rise every year for the next few years irrespective of your performance.
You should be happy.
My reference point for this is circular 10/71 and I would have thought it would be next highest point plus one. Regardless of what we think our responsibilities are worth, we can only get the scale for the post. Just make sure you get put on the correct point. Might be worth checking with the union. Slim
Is that not utterly contradictary?
It's not public service bashing...it's a statement of fact.
Irrespective of Newbie's performance in his or her new role and despite the disastrous condition of the nation's finances, he or she will receive an annual pay rise for the next number of years.
Really? The responsibilities and accountability attached to the new role is significantly different to the current post and it seems ludicrous to offer a 2k financial incentive to take on this post. I don't think I'm being unreasonable. I didn't expect a major increase but I did think 4-5k was appropriate.
This is simply not true.
Those on increments automatically get them.
These reviews can and do lead to increments being refused.
If however, you have proof that says the opposite, we would all be delighted to see it.
