Only MTO3 + 2 discretionary points Roy? Why, the MTO3 vacancy at Macclesfield attracts all 3 discretionary points

Don't forget to check your wheel nuts before you drive home, Rob. I'm only half an hour away, remember !
I don't need to bribe people to come and work for me, anyway !
(There's a third share in a bar of Cadburys Fruit & Nut for anyone willing to apply - just as a little incentive. )

Living in Cheshire, I can't even afford to own a car never mind wheel nuts too.....

Talking of nuts: Fruit & Nut bar? You're going to need to offer a bigger incentive that that Roy. Just one more discretionary point at Macclesfield could buy hundreds of these per annum

A pint , or two of cider??

What ! A whole pint ! ?

Only for the right candidate.

What's a MTO 3 + 2 worth now...?? I've been out of this game for a while..??

About a grand less than the MTO3+3 vacancy at Macclesfield

Oh..I thought each increment was worth 6% on the scale.. is it really that much ??.. corr blimey.. you NHS lads are certainly paid well....!!!!

Paid well, that's not quite how I would have put it

Hi Mark E. - you asked for some figures ;-

MTO3 £17,831 to £20,859 in 4 steps

MTO3+2 £19,284 to £22,562 in 4 steps

What an offer !

Does anyone get offered the full whack Roy ??
£22,562 isn,t too bad I suppose

If you are currently an MTO3 + 2 and at (or very close to) the top of the scale, then you would start at the top. Our personnel department apply the scale rules fairly tightly. Anyone below a 3 would start at the bottom.

Roy,

I'm born & bred in Somerset, I live & work in Somerset..why would I want to up sticks to your place?

I'm not being funny.

If you like where you live, like where you work, are already an MTO3 and don't want to benefit from cheaper housing and a lower cost of living - then I can't think of a single reason !

Umm...cheaper housing and a cheaper cost of living....

Have I got this right..? " Cheaper housing in Stockport..?"

Somehow I don't think so..!
