Asking for a raise - advice please!

Thanks Premier, he has emailed the HR to see why his grade does not match his post.
The grades at his Uni don't overlap.
Is there a point asking their trade union for advice re. being on a lower grade than his post suggests? OH isn't sure he is even a member...
Is there much differance between the lower and the higher grades, because involving a union for a small amount of money may not in the long term be advantageous.
If it is alot then it maybe it will beThe Googlewhacker referance is to Dave Gorman and not to my opinion of the search engine!
If I give you advice it is only a view and always always take professional advice before acting!!!

I'm not sure about this - in fact, I don't understand the pay scales at all. My OH and I are senior lecturers in different universities, he was promoted a year before me, yet I earn £6k more than him. He has reached the top of his pay scale, just three years after being promoted, and I have another four increments.I didn't know there were uni's without index-linking. I work at a uni, and thought they were all on the sinlge pay spine, with increments every year, plus index linking.
Fly Baby - your OH won't be a member of the union unless he has chosen to join. I get bombarded with emails from them virtually every day, so it's not as if you can forget you've signed up! And they will take money off you every month by direct debit.3-6 Month Emergency Fund #14: £9000 / £10,0000 -

I agree. It is not a lot - about a £1000 more per year. I don't understand why is it such a big deal for the Uni then. They did appoint him as a Senior Lecturer - why then keep him on the Lecturer grade?0
