Civil Service incremental credit/skips

    HI I was wondering if anybody could advise me about imcrental skips when imcrental credit has been awarded for previous service. For example...

    I had 13 years previous service as a CO which ended in 2013. I re-entered the Civil Service in April 2023 as new Entrant CO. I was then awarded 7 years incremental credit and placed on point 7. When my probation ended in April 2024 I was given my increment and placed on point 8.

    My question is, should have been awarded the skip to point 9 instead? I have raised a ticket with NSSO but have heard nothing back

    If anybody could help shed some light on this I would be very grateful,

    Thank You :)

    sorry,

    I don’t know the answer. But curious to know why you weren’t awarded 13 years incremental credit? Is 7 years the max?

    Yes point 7 is the max they can award.

    Did you previously skip Point 8?

    Why would you skip point 8? Is this normally the way it's done at CO?

    No I left the service in 2013so rhe incremental skips didn't apply to me then, but I'd assume they do now

    Interesting. I thought as you're a new entrant now, you wouldn't have got any incremental credit at all.

    Maybe it was a case of giving you the credit and recognizing your former service and you're not considered a "new" entrant and therefore don't skip the increment?

    as suggested here, given your previous service, you may have been placed back on the pre-2011 scale you were on before rather than the new entrant scale. This happens in certain cases - not sure of exact criteria

    the system should tell you what scale/point you are on and you can compare this to the two scales
