If the increase always happens on Year 2 (for e.g.) of my contract it would be most unfair. Which presumably means that the next increase has to be in 1 or 3 or 5 or 7 years time to be fair!

Giving an increase in the Special Allowance to only some NETs is discriminatory and punitive. We are expected to give our all to our school but this is not returned to us. This is discouraging. In the past, increases in the Special Allowance were given to all NETs, why has this changed? To my way of thinking, NETs who are starting new contracts signed them before the Special Allowance was increased. Shouldn't they have to wait two years to get the increase?
