"but a one off £1k 'consolidated' payment."

Anyone know if this is a lump sum award or £1k added to salary THEN 5% increase?

I know what a non-consolidated payment it, but not this!

ETA: A consolidated pay rise would be a permanently increased salary, often without any mention of how it affects tax, bonuses or any other responsibilities.

Are you taking the benefits available to you including housing and pension in to account? You may not take advantage of some of the benefits, but it doesn't mean they aren't part of your package.

I wasn't, i was just looking at salary. Forces offer medical and dental, non-contributory pension, gym etc. But don't decent companies offer similar these days? (aside from the non-contributory pension).

The pension the RAF offers is quite impressive. I've not long left the forces but that one element is worth a significant chunk of money.

You're right about companies offering similar things though. My upcoming job and my missus job both provide private health care for cheap.

The crappiest thing they implemented in my time was the 2yr pay freeze on promotion. In order to get promoted you need to have appraisals saying you work as the next rank up, then you get promoted to the next rank and they say "well you're not quite there yet so we freeze your pay a while."

I am on a pay freeze for 3 years! I was top end of 1 rank and so was on SDRP when we moved pay spines, so i had to wait until others caught me up, then 2 year promotion 'mark time'.

I even queried this with HR, as 3 years without moving up the spine couldn't be right - yeah it was :(

But £1k added to salary, 5% rise, back pay from Apr - Aug and i finally get to move up pay in 6 months = kerching!

Nope

There are management strategies that defy belief, mainly a lack of any sort of overall cohesive plan/structure

There's also the issue that many (obv not all) of the staff wouldn't know a proper days work if it hit them in the face

You wouldn't believe the amount of public body IT workers that thinks that a 9 to 5 shift is exactly that and lunch break times are set in stone

Don't forget 3 x weekly phys sessions, 12 'o' clock finishes on a Friday and 10 'o' clock starts if you've had a heavy sesh the night before :)

Time off for FD/AT etc - some of the young people i work with still whinge, they don't know how lucky they have it.

https://www.mod-pc.co.uk/ - looks like new pension calc has gone live early :)

My IP is £500 higher, but my lump sum and Final pension is lower - ?

Doesn't take into account the pay rise either :(

Decision may not be as straight forward to go back to the 75......................
 
They are, Non-contributory, Government backed etc. However, the MOD bang on about the extra stuff, gym, medical etc, but I think that's outdated. You can get similar from the private sector and more, company car, phone etc.

MOD also pay crap wages and so still need to up their game. Head of UK IT Security - £60k, lol.
