You are quite right. One minima was announced in November 2014, my boss has been underpaying me and a colleague for our grade since before the 2014 rise, quite substantially.
Regarding the job I am talking about, I did take account of the grades and descriptions but I don't always trust them but you obviously have more insight into this. Nonetheless, I am more inclined to regard the job title as opposed to the grade or description which might more reflect what an employer wants to pay. A lot of contracts are very open ended and it would be quite easy to find youself with more responsibilites than your grade and pay reflects.
Yes I can work out what is a good intermediate rate, what is more difficult to work out is whever the average intermediate pay meets the fair rate.
I must confess, when I was looking at the rate of increase for G2 over the last two years I hadn't accounted for minima increase in April. I would reckon that minima needs to increase by 3.5 % annually at the very least.
I think what really needs to be ascertained is what rate of annual increase needs to be maintained in order to reach the Cifa recommended pay scales, with the consideration that these will need to rise inline with comparable occupations. I don't think that the commecial archaeology can ever bridge the pay gap, the gap is just too large, especially for grades above CPIFA but a road map would be helpful in order to ascertain how many decades this will take.
