Quote:I have never seen a BAJR level grade referred to in a Written Scheme of Investigation, I have seen plenty of WSI's that say that a site will be, run by or monitered by an experienced archaeological project officer. It can't be reduced to a simple matter of nomenclature. It's either a matter of poor pay, or a matter misleading job titles, designed to mislead concerned parties about the experience and competence of the individuals being employed to run sites. It's a matter of poor pay or it's a matter of poor standards.
No reason why you should ... this is to ensure employers are aware of the responsibilities they are placing on a post. whatever they call it. I would expect that most companies class PO as a person who will be the organiser of a project office and field.
A supervisor L4 can also run a small site. (discuss)
It all comes down to what responsibilities are being placed on an individual.
Once again you are alluding to a company paying L4 rates for L5 responsibilities. -- in which case I have two questions... 1) was this PO job at L4 rates placed on BAJR? and 2) As I am still none the wiser about this allegation of underpaying - Can it be used as evidence of anything other than a possible single instance of undervalued staff... and one that the affected staff should and could deal with.
And Marc... if you count them... there are 10 levels. and they relate to employment... so self emplyed people/sole traders should not try and fit themselves into one category, but rather calculate their rate based on the job they are doing... not on the salary grade they are not getting
