They've advertised my position.... with a pay increase!

My employer has advertised my position internally this week. Only for the maternity cover (Ive only been off for 3 months) so theres no issue there. However the pay scale advertised has gone up a whole grade and Ive not noticed any change in the job spec.Angry

a) Can they do this?
b) Can I ask for the inflated pay scale when I go back?
c) What happens if the job spec does change while Im off?

Lucky I checked the site, isnt it! First time Ive done it and the closing date is in 2 days!

It may reflect the temporary nature of the job.

There's no really a problem with this, I think. They may think they need to pay more to attract the right candidate. Or it could be an error (what's your HR department like?). If the former, it might open the door for a pay negotiation when you go back...
