Modification of B and C Factor Payments under Haddington Road Agreement
As you will know, under clause 2.31 of the Haddington Road Agreement, the IMO achieved the merger of the January 2011 new entrant Consultant salary scales with the pre-existing salary scales.
As a consequence, individuals appointed to Consultant posts between January 2011 and September 2012 can now reach the highest point of their salary scale that was in effect prior to January 2011.
Subsequently, the IMO has had it confirmed that B and C Factor payments, which had been reduced by ten percent for those appointed between January 2011 and September 2012, will also be restored to the pre – January 2011 figures. This provision will become effective as and from 1st November 2013.
The IMO is the only body representing Consultants that has signed up to the Haddington Road Agreement, under which these improvements have been delivered.
