Hi,
I currently work 25 hrs per wk in a well paid job. At 25 hrs, my salary is average but full time takes me into the well paid bracket.
Where I work there has been a whole new regrading review done - my FTE salary is now considered 165% above the median of my grade, meaning I'll never get another pay rise. The only way I can improve my earnings is to increase my hours. However, to do so means signing a new contract due to this being a significant alteration etc.
I don't yet know if increasing my hours would be possible yet, as dept might not have the capacity in their budget etc. but, assuming they do, my next hurdle is whether or not I am entitled to expect my hourly salary rate would have to be maintained if I'm asking to increase my hours i.e. my worry is that given the regrading that went on, and my hourly rate now not something my colleagues can hope to achieve (they've capped the new grades at lower salaries than the long standing employees are on) can I be forced to accept the cap on my grade simply by changing hours or can I expect to maintain my hourly rate on a new contract for an increase of hours?
I hope that makes sense. I'm just trying to establish if my expectation is something in entitled to or not so I know where I stand in considering increasing my working hours.
Thanks
