I'm applying for a band 3 weekend role.

Will you get weekend working pay enhancement?
How long does it take to get to top of band?

Thanks!

Yes you will get enhancements and I think it takes about 7 years to get top of the band

lorrylorry · 21/10/2019 23:04

@lorrylorry I don't know about weekends as I've only worked mon -fri but the bandings have all changed now and it will only take 2-3 years to reach top of your band and also the starting salary for a band 3 will go up in April to £19737.

It takes 6 years to reach the top of band three. For the first 4 years your pay stays at the starting rate then increases in years 5 and 6

hannahbandanna · 22/10/2019 07:54

Starting on the bottom it will take 2-3 years. The bandings have all changed/are still changing to make it quicker for people to reach the top.

crazyhairbear · 22/10/2019 12:45

Sorry I was reading the wrong thing hannahbandanna is correct it's 2/3 years Blush

lorrylorry · 22/10/2019 13:44

Ok thanks everyone. 2-3 years isn't so bad.

Hope the attached helps. Enhancements depends on who you're employed by. Some
dont get enhancements if it's in the contract that weekends would be required. Some do.

alwayscauseastir oh no. Its just a weekend job. No weekdays. So would that mean it might be that enhancement isnt part of it?

It may be that there are no enhancements paid as it is weekend only. Particularly if it is only daytime.
