Well the figures are in from the BAJR review ( G2 level posts only just now)
The 2013/14 posts hovered around £16,339.00 ( which was the minima ) with over half the posts on this level
in 2014/15 the G2 posts came in at 1/3 on the minima...£17094 and another 1/3 on the next step up ( from £17100-17300)
in 2015/16 the G2 posts are now mainly in the middle ground of rates... with the largest percentage on c. £17,500-17,575 with just under half the posts on this and the next level down to the minima ( 17299) accounting for just a quarter However there was a significant spike at the 18k plus level, where just under a quarter of jobs were advertised.
So in terms of the digging rate moving forward. Yes it is...
The Percentage increase has increased in the last year and will increase again.
The road map for better wages is a red herring. the market force is about supply - demand and respect for skill. You get what you pay for... and companies are paying more, to get people. the best will stay and get paid more... as it will require better incentives to get them
So - has the experiment worked? Too early to tell. however... the cluster around the minima that happened in the past has halted... and the rates rise... If the G2 level rates rise... then the other grades must... however. it is obvious from a reading of the adverts that the upper level positions are static ... the managerial is not keeping pace. which is further concertinaing the pay range.. so from Digger to Director the pay band differences are narrowing - Time to look at the PO and above...
