acting paid and then becomes substantive at the magic date
All the more reason to abandon this two dates per year only. It then works both ways - if there is a job for you, great - go do it, get paid for it and have the seniority. If there isn't a job yet, but you're 'on the list' - bad luck. Wait your turn, don't get paid, don't put the rank up until you move to the new job. Trouble is what to do with those who get pulled to acting rank despite being 'below the line' (and never get above it
), hence my comment about the 3 year acting, automatic substantive ......
B Word
You should be in RP with views like that! Perhaps if we only recruited people over the age of 35 we would have to pay less in pension contributions and salary! Make them work to 80 as well .....! (If RP are reading this - it's a joke!!!!).
By blue letter I should have also said 'including the modern JPA format'!
