Just to get it right for Beags.
After 10 Years as a Grade D (Ex PTO, EO equiv) my gross pay is £22,400.
I do not know any Grade D earning more that c£27.000.
This is not a moan. If I was that unhappy I would leave immediately.
For me there is more to work than money; Leave, flexi, working environment, travel time to work etc. That said, more money would not go amiss!
I work alongside Chf Tech/Sgt performing the same tasks.
The CS are still awaiting to see what our Aug 06 pay rise will be.
PS Last week we were told by a Vice Admiral that the CS rates of pay are proving to be an obstacle when to recruiting at the Abbeywood site.
'We knew how to moan but we kept it in the NAAFI bar.'
