Equal Pay

[techyphil]

Hey,

 

We've just had our new Pay Grades handed to us. I was on £25k as a network manager now £19k... my colleague just got a promotion 3 weeks ago from £14k to £17 to take on extra responsibilities and to continue his professional development. He's now back to £14k after working for 2 years so his promotion was just a kick in the teeth. The assistant network manager has taken a 3k cut too.

 

Our new job titles are as follows...

 

Curriculum & resource Support Level 2, 3 and 4

 

I'm reviewing our job descriptions now. I can't see how we was paired up with that particular job title when "network manager", "ict technician" and "assistant" already exist.

All depends on a) what was in your job description and b) how you schools sent things over.

I have a horrible feeling then that my school has messed up because they were rushing the details through, and if what people have said on here is anything to go by the pay rise i had to fight for could be invain.

If othe people at least had network manager job descriptions to work from why couldent my liverpool based school get them?!

 

ill let you know how it goes....im dusting off my c.v just incase

If anyone out there has an example of an ICT Technicians Job Description, please post it to me. I am conducting a survey of job titles to job description for the Job Evaluation done at my school. Ended up with a 14% cut in pay and that hurt!!

I'm now in the silly situation of working for 2 schools and doing the same job for both but being paid differently by both. So much for equal pay !!!! ... I'm off to an equal pay clinic in Poole on Tuesday .. I wonder what they will make if it !! I'm trying to get a new job description for those of us that do everything and dont fit into the standard descriptions where you are either a manager with a team or a budget or a tech that basicly changes ribbons !!

If do anything ubove your job description. Are you insured and whos head will they come looking for if something goes wrong. It needs thinking about H&S issues are very harsh.

Same as me Brian,

 

My school has refused point blank to acknowledge the skills I use to the job. I assume you are referring to the BECTA standards for job evaluation?

 

The main idea for any manager is to cut pay, I suffered a 12% pay cut and am still fighting.
