hi all, was wondering if u guys could give me some advice here

im in a stat board, scheme of service is equivalent to MX12 (joined abt 3 mths ago)

i noticed that the pay range stated in my contract is rather odd

it states: $X - $Y/$Z

my current pay is a number higher than Y but lower than Z; it is approximately the average of Y and Z.

I have 3 qns:

1) Do you think that the number Z was created because I am technically an overpaid MX12?

2) Would they intentionally slow down my rate of increment because of this?

3) My PB is 1.25 (Grade C by default). Is this "market" for a MX12 guy in a stat board? Or is this a lower than normal figure because i'm a newbie?
