Appendix 4 – JE Pay Structure Assimilation
The examples below show how you may move from the current pay structure onto the new pay structure, with backdating or pay protection where applicable. They are not exhaustive and your own case may need to be worked out separately for you.
Example 1 – Currently paid below the minimum salary for the new grade
You are in the current structure at Grade SO1 on a salary of £24,892 (SCP29)–job evaluation moves you to the new structure at Grade 5
- You will move onto the new pay structure at £26,539 (SCP 31). This will be backdated to 1st April 2011
- You will receive an increment rise to £27,323 (SCP 32) This will be backdated to 1st April 2012
- You will then remain at £27,323 (SCP 32) as this is the maximum for Grade 5
Date / Current Pay Structure – SO1 / New Pay Structure – Grade 5
01/04/11 / £24,892 (SCP29) / £26,539 (SCP 31) / You move to the base increment of the new pay grade as this is higher than your current scale
01/04/12 / £25,727 (SCP30) / £27,323 (SCP 32) (Maximum) / You are due an increment
01/04/13 / £26,539 (SCP31) (Maximum) / £27,323 (SCP 32) (Maximum) / You remain at this scale point as it is the maximum for the new grade 5
01/04/14 / Was £26,539 (SCP31) (Maximum) / £27,323 (SCP 32) (Maximum) / You remain at this scale point as it is the maximum for the new grade 5
01/04/15 / £27,323 (SCP 32) (Maximum) / You remain at this scale point as it is the maximum for the new grade 5
Example 2 - Currently paid more than the maximum salary for the new grade
You are in the current structure on a Spot Salary of£25, 051 –job evaluation moves you to the new structure at Grade 3
- Your indicated pay in the new pay structure is £23, 945 (SCP28).This will normally be applied from1st April 2011 but we have said reductions will not be backdated. Your pay should be reduced from 1st April 2014. However you will have a period of pay protection for 12 months (the pay reduction is between 0% and 19%).
- Once Pay Protection has ceased you will be paid £23, 945 (SCP28) per annum
- You will then remain at £23, 945 (SCP28) as this is the Maximum for Grade 3
Date / Current Pay Structure – Spot Salary / New Pay Structure – Grade 3
01/04/11 / £25, 051 (Spot Salary) / £23, 945 (SCP28) (Maximum) / You should move to the new pay structure scale of £23,945 (the maximum of the grade) but your pay will remain at £25,051 as we will not claim back overpayments to 2011
01/04/12 / £25, 051 (Spot Salary) / £23, 945 (SCP28) (Maximum) / The same applies as above
01/04/13 / £25, 051 (Spot Salary) / £23, 945 (SCP28) (Maximum) / The same applies as above
01/04/14 / £25, 051 pay protected / £23, 945 (SCP28) (Maximum) / You should be on the new pay structure scale of £23,945 from 01/04/14 but your pay will have pay protection for 12 months
01/04/15 / £23, 945 (SCP28) (Maximum) / Pay protection ends and you move onto £23, 945
Example 3 – Currently paid between the minimum and maximumsalary for the new grade
In the current structure at Grade SO1 on £24,892 (SCP 29) - moving to the new structure at Grade 4
- You will move onto the new pay structure at £24,892 (SCP 29) as you are already on this scale
- You stay on this scale point from April 2012 and will receive an increment rise to £25,727 (SCP 30) from 1st April 2013
- You will be due an increment rise to £26,539 (SCP31). This will apply from 1st April 2014
- You will then remain at £26,539 (SCP31) as this is the Maximum for Grade 4
Date / Current Pay Structure – SO1 / New Pay Structure – Grade 4
01/04/11 / £24,892 (SCP29) / £23,945 (SCP28) / You will move onto the new pay structure at £24,892 (SCP 29) as you are already on this scale
01/04/12 / £25,727 (SCP30) / £24,892 (SCP 29) / No change as you are already on this scale
01/04/13 / £26,539 (SCP31) (Maximum) / £25,727 (SCP 30) / You receive an increment rise to £25,727
01/04/14 / £26,539 (SCP31) (Maximum) / £26,539 (SCP 31) (Maximum) / You receive an increment rise to £26,539
01/04/15 / £26,539 (SCP31) (Maximum) / £26,539 (SCP 31) (Maximum) / No change as you are on the maximum on the new scale
