hi there i am a probationer teacher who has a job for next year within south lanarkshire council. I understand that there is a way to be placed up the pay scale in my first year as a teacher (next year), if i have relevant experience from my years working before teaching. I was wondering how i would go about this and who i would contact about this.

As the GTC Scotland does not hold a remit in employment issues, including salaries, any queries relating to such should be directed to The Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA).

They can be contacted on 0131 474 9200 or via their website: www.cosla.gov.uk.

EIS members should contact The Scottish Negotiating Committee for Teachers (SNCT) on 0131 225 6244.

Hope this helps.
