so if it froze when i was say 8yrs in, two years later Im starting back at 8yrs?
Yes. However you will get to top whack a year quicker. Minus the 3 yr freeze of course. Theres some pay scales that are removed
Back dated till April 2014? Do we get lost money back then?
The fed have been a joke when it comes to this. It’s not clear at all. Can someone clear this up. If I joined in Jan 2009 and was frozen on pay scale 3 but my mate joined June 2009 and was on 2 when it froze but was still given scale 3 on anniversary (as no one under 3 years were frozen till they got to 3rd anniversary) do they go up to scale 4 in June 2014 but I have to wait till Jan 2015? If so how is that fair? With thanks, Confused from London.
Yes kimberley thanks.
In a nutshell, those of us that were on pay scale 3 and above prior to the freeze will now continue from where we left off. Those that were anything lower than 3, and we’re allowed to progress to 3 during the freeze, will still have to do 12 months from April at that pay point before progressing.
Just in time to have it taken off u with the increase in pension contributions ! Given in one hand, taken by another ….
Maybe you’ll start earning it now then … Just a thought
Simples, as of your next anniversary, you’ll get the one you were due but didn’t as you were frozen. Up to Oct 15, when your new anniversary is. Except those who started 2005 and there’s a little tickle as of April.
UKCH, think you might be the dummies guide to the new pay scale….so if I joined July 2005, what happens to my pay scale? 🙂
You don’t get a rise Dolan, pcsos aren’t included
Steve Auton I am not though. I don’t understand what you are getting at? Are you trying to be funny?
Just passing the message on from your mum, are you a PC then?

Steve Auton, I think you best leave the humour to UKCH. You’ve clearly failed! UKCH, looking forward to you reply…:)
Lol, pop in for a cuppa some time
Well that made me smile, well done Auton and Dolan 🙂
Its rubbish checked out all the details that the fed put out I am this yr a 9 yr pc but stuck on pay scale 6 I will not get to top whack til 2016 in effect 11 yrs service and people who joined 2 yrs after me hit top whack the exact same time as me!!! Total crap!! 🙁
Andy Dolan see my post I joined june 2005 this is where we are, june/july we move to 7 then nxt april we move to 8 oct nxt yr 9 (2 incremental rises) then oct 2016 we hit top….in effect 11 yrs 4/3 mths in service!!!
Nicky, I think anyone who joined pre 2004 will get pay rises as normal, anyone after 2004 will have their pay rises but at weird dates to ensure that those who were not affected by the freeze (those under 3 years service) don’t leapfrog those with more service. I joined 2003 and am frozen on pay scale 8 (frozen 5 days before I was sue to go to pay point 9) but have read and checked the policy. I have just been ‘unfrozen’ and am now pay scale 9. I will go to payscale 10 next April. I know some pay scales are being taken away but not for a couple of years.
Sorry, misread your post and thought you had 11 years already
Thanks Steve Auton, I did read the policy and find it ridiculous that in many cases people with longer service are getting to the top the same time as people with less….but hey ho….still in a job that I enjoy. 😉
Nicky Devlin, thanks for that. As long as I know we are moving upwards and onwards!! 🙂
Karen Russell are you a policewoman? I guess not from your comment,so unless you do some other job where you put your life on the line everyday,I think your out of order with that comment,the police get paid a pittance for the job they do.
Don’t feed the troll 😉
Takes the p*ss. I joined in Jan 09. There’s a girl on my section who joined the end of April 09. She progressed up to pay point three just before the pay freeze. She is going to get her pay increase eight months ahead of me and will have effectively leapfrogged me and one other. So because of my start date going to miss out on a pay increase that everyone else is getting and some one with less service will be getting paid more than me. How’s that fair?
Kris, it may be worth double checking because I think that you will get the rise to pay point 4 or whatever now and your colleague will get hers in October
Kris, she won’t a actually get hers until April 15 and then every April after that to stop any leapfrogging. Will mean she had to wait another 12 months for her pay rise which is bobbins.
Would be great if I was paid lol
I think Karen Russell should get back under her bridge pathetic troll
