This is the key bit for me: 'In the light of legal advice Council resolved that it should not continue to make compliance with minimum salary recommendations an absolute requirement of Registered Organisation status. This requirement, introduced in 2007, is now removed. '
You missed out the second part of that para:
However, the Registered Organisations committee has been instructed to use non‐compliance with the recommended starting salaries as a trigger for a more detailed audit of the way an applicant or existing organisation ensures that it has appropriately competent staff at its disposal, with immediate effect. The committee has been instructed to look very closely indeed at applications from organisations that do not comply with the recommended minimum salaries: it will be up to applicants for Registration to make a persuasive case that they can recruit, retain, motivate and develop staff with the skills necessary to comply with IfA’s Code of conduct and standards.
and
Council additionally resolved that IfA’s Jobs Information Service will not accept paid
advertisements for archaeological posts that do not comply with the recommended minima.
I think, as you say chiz, it will depend a lot on the application of this. I do worry that the Ifa will find it hard to police/resource any 'detailed audits'. Also, will non-appearance on the IFA JIS be a big deterent?
But yes a big thankyou for all the hard work to date
