What do you mean by "-£155.00 per anum because of the rules"? the band 7 scale is much higher than MTO4** and you MUST be placed on a spine point higher or equal to your pre afc pay.
If you are not at the top of the scale and have had an increment (pre AFC) that is larger than the afc one then pay protection should apply as per final terms and conditions handbook section 46.20
"The level of pay before assimilation for the purpose of this calculation will be the average level of the payments in the left-hand column of Table 7 above over a reference period of twelve weeks or three months ending at the assimilation date except:
....where this period includes the annual pay award due in April 2005 or an annual increment, the protected amount should be adjusted as if that award or increment had applied throughout the reference period;"
The assimilation date refered to is the actual date not the effective date of OCT 04, as proved by the reference to the April 2005 pay award
Pay protection for qualfied MTO's = R+R premium. Most Trust HR departments don't wish to recognise the existence of the above paragraph but it is there in black and white, and they have signed up to afc so HOLD THEM TO IT. (They will try to argue that it only applies to increments prior to Oct04 but it is clear from the above that this is not the case)
