Hi All,
I am in the 3rd year of a 5 year IVA and am in line for a promotion at work.
This will attract an increase in salary.
However, a condition of the promotion is that I become a member of a Professional Institution (c. £200/annum and undertake a professional examination during my first or second year's membership c. £500 exam fees).
I accept that much (if not all) of my additional earnings will be added to my income/expenditure assessment but is it 'automatic' that the additional Professional Subscription and Fees will be taken account of?
Thanks for your anticipated advice.

Hi there - I would think these payments would have to be allowed as they allow to to work. I'm a member of a professional institution, but my employer pays for these. Is this an option with your employer?

Hi there and welcome. I too would think it could be offset against your additional earnings. Well done on the promotion.
Hubby has to have a medical for his job and had to get something necessary to his job and this was allowed to be offset before they took the 50% for our overtime.

Speak to your supervisor they will be able to confirm this definatively for you.

All costs relating to your new job must be set off against the salary increase, before you are asked to pay higher payments.
