Incremental pay progression
I am a registered nurse working part time in a public hospital for a little over three years. I have noticed I am still being paid as a registered nurse year two and have not progressed to the year three rate.
For nurses in the Public Health System, incremental salary progression is calculated on the actual hours worked, which includes any paid leave taken. As you are working less than a 38-hour week, it will take longer than a calendar year to progress to year three rate.
