Not sure when SEO will come, at current scale I will do just fine. Going to senior scale will lose allowance, dip in Appraisal grade, but there will be pay increment and PB might be more. Anyone with the experience? Do you general get more or less moving from Geo 5 to Seo 1?

First year in SEO1, your total salary drops slightly when you lose your allowance for whole year and your increment is 200 plus per month starting from April.

Just checking...If till now still no news of promotion from school...Means no chance of being promoted this year already right?

I got C+ in my first year... a dip from school, but shows it's not impossible to perform above average I guess!

Realistically speaking, I was surrounded by high-performing colleagues... just accepted that it's harder to shine in that environment.

Depends on school leaders. Practice varies sch to sch. My P only emails whole sch like 2-3 days before 1 Apr to announce promotions.

Me too. C+ throughout my years in HQ. Agree that it’s much more difficult to shine; was told C+ is considered quite high already. Many of my colleagues get a C in HQ.

Very similar profile with me! I am just wondering though... It seems like many people in school get a B this year somehow? Has it got anything to do with how things were last year with all the scrambling due to COVID-19 hmm...

Congrats on being recognised for your consistent good performance and improvement over the years.

Promotion rate is however not based on performance grade, but CEP (as of now, at least; Govt has announced that changes to the CEP system are on the horizon). The good news is, if your school recognises your potential and wants to push you up, the panel will also recommend to raise your CEP. The higher your CEP, the shorter the intervals between HR flagging you for promotion.

To answer your specific case, you may be promoted next year regardless of performance grade, but it's hard to be sure unless you are able to get some rough idea of what your CEP is like.

Yes, very difficult to shine in HQ because everyone is a high performing officer. I used to get Bs in schools but throughout my HQ stint, it’s difficult to even get a C+.

Thanks for the heads up.
Woah. This applies to every sub grade even for GEO4?
