Hi
I worked in the public sector and left in 2006, as I relocated. I left on a Grade 4 LSI 1. I would have worked since 1990 in private practices but then in 1999 joined the public service, worked as a grade 3 for a year and then moved to grade 4 where I started on point 5 of the scale. I have returned now to the public sector but back in at a Grade 3 clerical officer and was placed on point 12 of the new scale. Does anyone know if this is correct as I would have had more years and points on scale from what I gather. It seems to be a more unusual situation as I went back a grade instead of up a grade. I just want to make sure I am not losing out as obviously this will affect pension contributions too.
Plus, if I was to change jobs again to another public sector job would I then be stuck on a lower point and if I was to move up a grade would I lose out and only get moved up a to the closest salary I’m on now rather than where I was when I was originally a grade 4 LSI 1. Any advice or what to do would be welcome. I did get a letter from original PS job to state my grade etc upon leaving but maybe I should ask them for a letter to state the equivalent in years/points worked? My new employer is basing my new pay on the closest point salary wise to what I left on back in 2006 (which was just under 40k). Thanks,
