tired-flyboy, if you have already started at the college then no need to panic, you will follow the current scale you are on and it may even increase by the percentages in both January's. You should also receive UHP once posted to a unit. The new student pay will be given to those that haven't started yet and haven't been given a contract, so basically the course in March time.
Many collegues I've spoken to have uttered the "no" word once or twice too, don't be too fearful of the centres this time.....
