this is a cock up the terms of AfC quite clearly state that if you are on a pay band lower(£19248) than your current pay(£22500), you will continue to have protected pay (£22500) until the lower rate has reached or exceeds your protected rate. you cannot be "overpaid" as it was what you were entitled to anyway. the ambulance service is different from the nurses unsocial pay, as we are being payed as per the old whitley system AfC has been badly handled, and with most trusts finances well screwed up, they're going to try every trick in the book to try and delay payment till April 2006
