I feel for you, I really do. I work for a city council in the north and we been through exactly the same thing ... Job Evaluation! It took the council around 7 years to get it to the stage of presenting us with the paylines and new evaluated job monetary values. Talk about a slap in the face when they were published. They say it's not a cost cutting exercise, but it smacks of such. A year later we're still trying to get recognition in our pay packets of a salary that fits the job and recognises our skills, experience, and worth.
