(a) For future entrants to the Junior Executive Grade differentiated scales for women and unmarried men and for married men have been fixed as follows:—
Scale A—Men (unmarried) and Women. £90 (on entry) rising by annual increments of £7 10s. to £210 per annum, and thence by annual increments of £10 to £250 per annum, with an efficiency bar at £180.
Scale B—Married Men. Men, on marriage, will be placed at the appropriate point, having regard to service in the grade on the scale £90 by annual increments of £7 10s. to £105, thence by annual increments of £10 to £175, by £15 to £310 and by £10 to £350 with an efficiency bar at £250. Thus, a successful male competitor entering the grade at the age of 19 would, on marriage at 25 years of age, be placed on Scale B at the point £145. Officers on entering Scale B will also receive a lump sum on marriage equivalent to twelve months' back pay of the difference between the salaries on Scales A and B. In addition, allowances (subject to a total maximum of £75) will be payable in respect of each dependent child up to 16 years, or in the case of invalid children and children still at school after 16 years up to 21 years of age.
(b) For future entrants to the Clerical Grade differentiated scales for women and unmarried men and for married men have been fixed as follows:—
Scale A—Men (unmarried) and Women, £60 (on entry), rising to £70 at 18 years of age, and thence by annual increments of £5 to £150 per annum with an efficiency bar at £120.
Scale B—Married Men. Men, on marriage, will be placed at the appropriate point, having regard to service in the grade, on the scale £70, rising by annual increments of £5 to £80, thence by annual increments of £7 10s. to £110, by £10 to £140 and by £7 10s. to £200, with an efficiency bar at £155. Thus, a successful male competitor entering the grade at the age of 18 would, on marriage at 25 years of age, be placed on Scale B at the point £120. Officers on entering Scale B will also receive a lump sum payment on marriage equivalent to twelve months' back pay of the difference between the salaries on Scales A and B. In addition, allowances (subject to a total maximum of £60) will be payable in respect of each dependent child up to 16 years, or in the case of invalid children and children still at school after 16 years up to 21 years of age.
