Promotion FAQs

Is it worth the extra responsibility?

That's personal, but financially, moving from Band 3 to 4 typically yields £150-£250 extra take-home per month depending on pension tiers.

Do I lose my RDW/ACH?

Check your contract. Usually, ACH (Additional Committed Hours) is available at all bands, but specific allowances might change.
