Civil Service Higher Scale

Aisling(",)

Does anyone know how a change from an ordinary civil service PayScale to a higher scale works in practice?

If the person is staying at the same grade, do they go from say point 4 ordinary EO scale to point 4 on the higher EO scale or do they slot across at the point closest to their current wage. I've seen competitions for it advertised in my department, but no one seems to know how it functions practically and the leaflet doesn't go into much detail.

From memory, you go onto the higher scale at the point closest to (but not less in monetary terms than) existing salary. Others may have more recent experience against which to check this.

You go to the next point above what you would be on the standard scale. The Higher Scales have additional 'increments' before you go to the Long Service increment points.
