Nhs Preassimilation Banding Pay Help!!

Posts: 11 Forumite
Hi,
I am struggling to find someone to help me with this issue.
I have been working for the same Trust for just over 3 years and when I started I was offered a grade 3 which became a band 4 prior to me starting. I was offered the post in August 05 but could not start until 3rd Oct due to having to fulfil my notice at another Trust first. After a while I noticed that I had been being paid wrong following a conversation with a colleague who was offered the same job at the same time as me. She was on a regular band 4 and was therefore 2 points higher than me on the wage scale.
When I questioned this with my managers they agreed it did not seem right that one member of staff was put on a different point to me but she began working for the Trust prior to 3/10/05 which is when the dreaded preassimilation banding ruling came into place. My union is rubbish and does not understand it, I have tried to contact the NHS direct but again it is a dead end and I am very annoyed now as a colleague of mine who started only last year is on the same point of the scale as myself but I have had to work and extra 2 years more than her but she is on the same as me!!
I feel like I am going round in circles and trying to pull teeth here. The suggestion has been made that I should put a grievance in against HR for not sorting this prior to my start date and someone else has told me to go to the Chief Exec???
Has anyone else been in this situation and had it resolved as I have worked out I am owed around £2000 after 3 years at least and I really need the cash due to Tax Credits wanting money AGAIN!! which I cannot spare.
:mad:

Is that something to do with your bottom....0 -
ltrenell, you've posted in the wrong area of the forums so you'll find this thread moved to somewhere more appropriate. However, on behalf of all the layers of the world, good luck with your problem.After posting about receiving an email to my MSE username/email from 'Money Expert' (note the use of ' '), I am now unable to post on MSE. Such is life.0
