One point I will be seeking to clarify is the comment in the letter that this allowance will incorporate our normal 2005 pay rise. If this allowance is just that and doesn\'t effect our gratuity/SORAS, does that mean that due to in effect our salary not increasing for 2005, we will be worse off than we would have been gratuity/SORAS wise????? That would be really low, if it was the case.
If it is an allowance, as the letter states, and it incorporates our 2005 raise, does that mean that the annual allowance is NOT 30000 but something less (30,000 less whatever our supposed 2005 raise was going to be?) and will the 2006 allowance be 2?,???
If that is the case why don\'t they just say so? Why try to make a warthog look like a prize pig?
Who comes up with these plans???????
