We remind you that those who were appointed after 25 July 2002 in the combined pay scales A3-A5-A7 did not benefit, unlike those who were appointed before 25 July.

This also applies to the special police officers who were appointed from 16/05/1997 until 11/07/2002 in the combined pay scales of their position A1-A3-A5, compared to those who were appointed after 11 July 2002 in the combined pay scales of their position A1-A2-A5.
