here is the announcement. Civil service is usually faster than public service as public service has autonomy to enforce in their own time. so likely your poly is a bit slower.

anyway if it makes you feel better, inflation makes things more expensize so even if pax3 is 12k+.. he probably can only buy the same things he could buy with 10k+ in 2008..
Yup, i'm from a poly and the benchmarks have indeed risened to match the alarming inflation experienced over the last 3 years.
however I must add that while Bars and Caps were raised, salaries stayed normal so it translates basically to people needing to wait longer before they hit their salary to be considered for promotion! managers's who are slated for AD's next year might need to wait another 2 years just to hit the salary mark.
