Agree with this. Had one teacher who was very upset at getting D and applied for open posting. Other school accepted

C- no connect plan deposit for that year. Promotion delayed by 3 years

Stop circulating fake news. go download the circular and read.

C- connect plan deposit is forfeited for that year. This was implemented about 1-2 years ago.
C- aka no promotion for 3 years. Go and check with HR.

Dated 2021

Teachers who have shown consistently good performance and are assessed to be ready to take on a higher level job may be considered for promotion. Hence, weaker performers with C- grades would typically not be considered for promotion until they demonstrate consistently good performance, in line with the Civil Service’s practice. This is to ensure that they are able to contribute at the promoted substantive grade. However, if there are exceptional cases, special consideration will be given on a case-by-case basis.

notes but there are other factors at play too for promotion. the key word here is typically. of cos they will push the above C- people for promotion. it is meritocracy right? how would an officer with a C feel if he or she is bypassed for promotion because the fellow got a C-. it will not make sense to that officer. however one may argue that another officer with a lower Perf grade gets promoted ahead of another - it could be due to other factors like CEP, vacancy in the sub-grade or time issue. that is why it is special consideration. a letter of warning will not help matters too. Nowhere it says that C- also does not freeze your promotion for 3 years. go ask your P or VP for confirmation of this info if you are unsure.

as for connect plan - there will be contribution - alsp go ask a P or VP if u are lazy to call HR.

where did you get the magical number of 3?

Consistently good performance. Aka 3, go ask HR if you are not sure.

After a C- or below, you subsequently need 3 years with C or above before you may be considered for promotion again. It's standard, though exceptions may be granted for outstanding improvement.

Anybody knows the pay grade scales for GEO2 to GEO4? Thanks
