Yes, we’re having the same experience as Diane and Co., as I originally emailed out to Lihnn some months ago. I’ve had to submit new job descriptions for Teresa and myself here which are now about to be evaluated (the deadline in this Trust is, I think, 25^th October for everyone to have been done) and as I had no hard guidance at the time on writing this new form of JD as well as on the significance of the 16 job evaluation factors, I am not altogether confident about what the outcome will be (who is?).

This sounds an excellent idea however within our two PCTs   there has been a push to ensure all the job descriptions etc for all  PCT staff are ammended and updated within the  next week or so, I wonder if this has been the case elsewhere and if this has come a bit too late for a lot of people
