In Surrey, we have a totally different set of pay scales. Forget S01,S02, P01 etc, we have Surrey D, E, F, G, H etc. according to "rank" Don't get the idea that this is perfect however as we see people across the same department but in different field of work getting substantially different grades. One big piece of advice I would give is, be very careful how you word your job descriptions. I ran foul of this by saying I prepared the Contract Documentation for the supply and installation of traffic signals, supervised the installation and commissioned the equipment. I was awarded one salary grade, but colleagues who wrote - Prepared controller specification, prepared drawing, prepared Bill of Quantities, invited and vetted tenders, etc. etc. - were awarded the higher grade. Thankfully all was sorted out (I also got the higher grade) but do not sell yourselves short. List everything, use the words "Manage" this, be a "Key Participant" in that - it's all perception.

In Plymouth our post as UTC Officers (doing all aspects of design, mainte= nance, UTC etc) was originally a career graded post starting from a Scale= =206 (=A321,000ish) and progressing to a P1 (=A330,000ish), depending on = experience etc. Following the Job Evaluation process our career graded post has disappear= ed and we have been given a nice new E grade which is capped at =A322122.= =20As you can well imagine Plymouth is not a happy place to be at the mom= ent! If anyone else is willing to share the results of their JE post scor= es with me, I'd be very grateful, as at the moment we are trying to colla= te as much information as we can about comparable jobs throughout the cou= ntry. Alternatively please forward details of any vacant posts you have availab= le!=20 Nigel Nigel Taylor Urban Traffic Control Officer (01752) 307802 ----------------------------------------------------------- A message from the TCUG mailing list.
