This is turning into a conversation between two people, but here goes...
Yes. Can I suggest that people reading this go and read about the IfA's CPD scheme on their site, download the forms, and try it out?
My employer is a local authority and it has a policy on training, and a 'Staff Review and Development Scheme'. That is not the same thing as 'Continuous Professional Development' (CPD) - the IfA guidance document makes this clear.
There is not such a simple lonk between [u]archaeological </u> skills and pay scales.

Quote:quote:Along side this, as you say, that there is a relationship between pay scale and skills... so can we expect to see in the adverts and hear on the forum about staff being paid their value depending on the additional relevant skills?? OR will we still have a one size fits all diggers pay - with no real incentive to work towards something.
