APPENDIX 1 – EXTRACT FROM SWITCH POLICY 18 COMPENSATION/PROTECTION OF SALARY 18.1 The aim of the process is to secure a permanent post equal to the employee’s existing rate of pay but this will not always be possible. 18.2 Compensation would only apply where the Council effects the change that results in a lower grade. Where, as a result of organisational change, an employee is matched or redeployed to a post with a lower grade, salary levels will be protected on a cash conservation basis for a period of one year. Cash conservation will be based on salary grade and contractual allowances associated with the former post, but will not include any non-contractual payments. 18.3 To minimise this protection period and to support employees return to their previous grades at the earliest opportunity employees will remain on SWITCH (category 3) and be considered for suitable employment opportunities that arise and will be encouraged and supported to secure employment at their previous level of pay. 18.4 In cases of ill-health, end of fixed term contract and incapability where an employee accepts a lower graded post the grade of the new post will apply.
