WRT bacpay, our last pay rise was Jul 10. So whilst we may have liked to have received 3% from 1 Jan 11, that was always unlikely. I'd always worked on the probability of 3% from 1 Jul 11 and then another 3% 1 Jul 12. That would have lead to back pay of $6K using the figures above- 12 months of 3% and 6 months of 6%- and a pay rise due in Jul this year. Instead we've got $4.5K back pay but a pay rate now 1.5% higher than I expected but that won't change until Jan next year when it will be 10.5%.
So we've lost 6 months back pay I reckon and a 6 month pay freeze.
As with Ruprecht and AnQrka, this hardly constitutes a financial 'disaster' let alone a 'catastrophe'.
