Pay On Appointment

[jselse]

Could anyone tell me what the pay on appointment as an ATCO is?

I know from the website its £10k whilst at college.. then £15k-19k when posted at a unit.

What is it when fully qualified and operational?

[Gonzo]

At College: 10k (£682.59 net per month)
During training at unit: 15k to 18k, moving to 16k to 19k two years after you start with NATS.
If you validate before the third anniversary of joining, you get 26k to 29k plus 5k shift payment.
On third anniversary of joining, providing you are valid, you get 40k to 44k plus 5k shift payment.

Gonzo,
Maybe a bit in the wrong place but if your an ATSA do you go to the college on the money you were on before you got the cadetship or do you drop to the cadet money?

As I understand it, you would mark time.

Danny I believe that you will "mark time" on your current ATSA salary rather than have your wages chopped to 10k.

But you'd lose extras such as London weighting and UHP (or whatever they've decided to call it this week).

Cheers guys, many thanks. I guessed the UHP LW would not be included but i just could not find anywhere on the intranet that lists these type of things .

Thanks to all

you might keep london weighting - when I moved away from london many years ago I kept london weighting for a period of three years or whenever my salary caught up with what i was earning down south. It is part of the protection of income rules agreed with the unions. might be worth having a chat with a couple of union bods.

Thanks tatc, information worth knowing about. I have to say im not greatly impressed with union reps so far. Took 4 months and 4 application papers to apply. I still think that it has not gone through. Quite honestly cant be bothered with it anymore!
Again thanks to all for you help.
