Otherwise, HOT all the way. Top of the GEO5 scale is a respectable 8k plus now. To get C grade every year is really very easy. Why eat so much more shiat everyday and risk your backside doing firefighting every morning, evening and weekends just to draw 9k at SEO1?

Exactly. But you still get the occasional asswipe here bitching and moaning everytime they widen the GEO-SEO pay gap.

Hi, what are the repercussions of using our extended sick leave (beyond the 14 days of MC)? Many of my colleagues have been taking MC almost weekly and eating into their extended sick leave. School is super compassionate and people like me have been covering for them. 😖

No repercussions. If they are really sick and has mc, who are we to penalise them? If you think that you are overloaded, ask your school to consider hiring RTs to cover these people.

Damn sian now. The GEO3 teachers that are just out of BT-ship are actually catching up in pay. SEO colleagues are widening the gap even further.

you will eventually get promoted to SEO1 given your appointment and performance, and as such will enjoy substantial pay jump when it happens, so just press on. the greater pay revision for SEO1 shld be good news for you actually, unless the internal HOD appt doesnt materialise (dont think so)

just checking, when does ranking officially end?

How is years in service counted. Like if my NIE was from aug 2014 to Aug 2015 (practicum in early 2015), is 2015 counted as my first year in service? Cause I got my GEO 3 in 2016, cause of my NS.

Start from the day you get posted as a trained teacher.

No news on range for 5A right?

Probably maxes out at slightly over 9k? That would be the mid point between GEO5 and SEO1.

promotion due to ceiling?

will the hr system raised the info to SL that a pay has reached the ceiling, hence promotion is due? would $20 away from the ceiling be considered as reached the ceiling already, cause MI would be probably a little more than $20? TIA
