The NJC payscales – and travel allowances – can be download as Excel and PDF documents. There are also Excel and PDF documents which calculate staff costs. The scales relate to the following grades. This should be treated as a rough guide: a local authority grant officer or your local CVS can give more detailed information:

• Scale 3 to Scale 5: for admin staff.
• Scale 6/SO1/SO2: for development workers, advisors and technical staff.
• S02/PO1 for managers of 2 or 3 people with turnovers of up to £200,000 and overall responsibility for the organisation.
• PO2/3: for managers of 5 to 20 people with turnovers of £200,000 plus and overall responsibility for the organisation.
• PO4: for managers of £500,000 plus turnovers. Also people with strong professional qualifications – Chartered Accountants, Solicitors etc.
• PO5: directors of organisations turning over above £800,000.

PEACE at LVSC have developed a job evaluation system for the voluntary sector. It includes a CD ROM which analyses the job and recommends which grade the person should be on. It took PEACE four years to develop and can be purchased for £90. This is cheap when you consider how large a year’s salary is or even what the difference is between two scale points – generally £1,000, email: peace@lvsc.org.uk for details of how to buy “Just Job Evaluation”.

When deciding on staff grades it goes without saying that care has to be taken. What is genuinely fundable? How might the post change in the future and what are the budget implications? These matters should be discussed with your local CVS or community accountancy project.
