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.

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?

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.

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
