What are pay increments?
Answer
Pay increments are awarded in relation to length of service. Every year, on August 1st employees with over 6 months service will receive an increment, progressing one spinal point within their grade. This will continue up until you reach the highest automatic spinal point within your grade.
February 1st is the cut off point for receiving the increment in your first year of employment. You will receive the increment progression the following year if your employment commences after the 1st February.
