Graham,

If individuals end up on protected pay, i.e. have long-term protection applied because AfC banded pay is lower than pre-AfC pay, I thought the 2.5% cost of living increase would actually apply to their current salary minus the protected portion of pay. It's the protected portion that doesn't attract the 2.5% as far as I understand it. Is this not the way it works?

Richard,

I like a bit of French..but, I prefer a Brazilian?
My dept was 'lucky' to be banded, so protection wasn't required.
No, I don't jest on such a serious jubject. I think that you may be right in what've stated. All that I can remember, pre matching, was that I didn't want to have pay protection.
I was happy being an MTO3( I've worked my way up through MTO1,2 and 3. Band 5, apart from the £ notes,didn't allow for 'mental progression'. I'm comfortable with band 6 and all that it entails.

Cheers
Mark
