I do appreciate this clarification. however..
However.. like BAJR the IfA do not set pay ... only provide a 3 level (or in BAJR case a more sophisticated 12 level grading) minima. So the pay freeze is inaccurate. However, it will be interesting to see what happens... in April.. who will go up? or will there be no move? effectively a freeze. Only time will tell.
WE cannot forget
THe council acted like a democratic body.. so should be praised.
I will look forward to helping the IfA carry out the concept of good HR practices, including the existence of training plans, staff development reviews incorporating support of CPD, assistance with professional membership fees, the provision of appropriate types and amounts of leave, and contributions towards pensions etc.... I support that and always have for many years.
Let us not forget that that benchmarking survey had shown that in 2007 these bands spanned the
range from 13% to 53% above the present minima, and these figures should be updated!
I am not sure what the comment about 'limited discussion means... is that here? In which case.. what are you IfA members doing? EGM or not bothered?
Quote:At its meeting on 5 November Council 2009 considered submissions from several
Responsible Post-holders of Registered Organisations concerning IfA-recommended
minimum salaries. Most drew attention to the difficult economic times: some argued that
compliance with the IfA-recommended minima should remain a requirement of Registration;
more argued that the requirement should be removed. Other members without
responsibilities for Registered Organisations, aware of this item on Council?s agenda, had
also made representations.

Quote:Council has tried to steer a principled yet pragmatic course through one of the most
potentially divisive and damaging debates within the Institute for 20 years. Emotions have
run high and threats have been made. The way forward chosen by Council will not satisfy all
the demands made of it, but no-one can reasonably argue that no accommodation has been
made for their needs.
