    A % of each Dept will have an allocation of staff on the higher scale.

    Being placed on the higher scale is usually based on seniority/suitability but Ive seen some departments have competitive interviews in the last few years

    Let's be honest, it's a pretty crap wage scale, not even 40k after 12 years? I know secretaries who are earning €42k after 4 years in the job without any prior experience.

    Private sector just pays more, c'est la vie.

    What basis is the pay increase? Is that every year or is it after promotions etc? Could you be there 4 years and still on the starting wage for example?

    Its increments, paid yearly. No, you couldn't really be on the same starting wage after 4 years, unless you were getting bad reviews annually on your PMDS
