With reference to an old thread I posted on here, there have been substantial changes concerning my employment.
After my re-grading as mentioned, I subsequently changed roles again, through a departmental restructure – this alongside voluntary & compulsory redundancies elsewhere throughout the organisation, which I have survived. I was slotted in to a differing role to be in addition to my previous role. My post was therefore due another revised re-grading.
I commenced part of my new role in April/May of this year due to there being no-one else to make section decisions mainly, and was expected to be active in my new undefined role. I moved offices in the latter part of May, where I was based with my new team and continued to manage my old team who are now based elsewhere within the new building we are located in. Leaning on my manager to have my JD revised, this was only recently finished and the re-grade came out as 1 grade higher (about £2.5k difference p.a.), as expected due to increased Knowledge requirements mainly. So, that’s the good news – even though I am yet to receive a formal letter of confirmation. I have no doubt this letter will be forthcoming, so no problem there.
Leaving aside my lack of formal training in the unknown areas of my new position (despite my requests) I have stated I would like my new grade back-dated. The organisation have declined and said it would be effective from 1 July, which I think is unreasonable. I don’t particularly think I could be successful in having a claim back to 1 April but the restructured organisational department chart was released in the last week of May.
Is there a legal position? And what is considered reasonable? I’m happy to be honest to have received an honest re-grading but I’m not sure if I should be making a fuss over the ‘effective from’ date.
