Hi,

just got a promotion this year and noticed that my PI + MI is lower than my confirmation increment last year, despite my grade being better than last year's. HR told me that it is because my salary before promotion is near the cap for my grade, hence no /little MI portion this year.

will anyone be able to advise if what my HR said is usually the case for all civil service? or just something that is practiced at certain govt bodies?

many thanks in advance.
