As a teacher I will receive a salary increase each september whilst I climb the payscale. What happens whilst in an IVA with salary increases? Is it a case of they take all the salary increase unless I can prove expenditure increases?

Ivas vary but in general you should expect to pay across 50% of the increase after you have accounted for increases in expenditure.

Hi
Your may have to increase your IVA payments by 50% of any increase, after increased expenses are allowed for

Hi Ruth -- This is totally off topic .... But .... Are you getting your progression rises during this public sector salary freeze?

Teachers may be different to other public sector workers.

Just a guess!!

You are probably right, Jan, but it's another arguement I can use with my CEO (before she fires me!).

I wonder if I will ever get a pay rise again? It seems years since the Government said yes! I suppose they'll make me go without next year to pay for the riots!!

I'm at least two years away from a payrise unfortunately!

Due to a reworking of our unsocial hours payments I earn less now than I did 2 years ago,even though my hourly rate is more.

Flippin NHS!!!(I did want to use a stronger word believe me!!)

Paul

I bet you did!

My hourly rate is the same as it was last year (also public sector) but I do still get my shift allowance and enhanced weekend working. How long that will last........who knows!!

Teaching salaries are rarely increased by more than inflation - even in the good times - so I expect that Ruth's future increases will be largely if not entirely absorbed by additional expenditure.

I haven't had a payrise in over 3 years and there isn't one on the horizon either

I think Ruth is referring to an incremental progression, rather than a cost of living increase Mel.

It is true that there is a pay freeze for teachers at the moment, but that does not stop you rising up the payscale each September which means an increase in salary.

Mel is correct though... I have found that the increase is swallowed up by the rise in day to day living and so my disposable income has not really changed.

I am Public Service, Brightside, and my progression has been halted under guise of the pay freeze, which lost me a £7k rise this year.
