was introduced (as someone mentioned earlier) to allow QP the opportunity of recruiting western staff without increasing the scales unnecessarily and is awarded based on the nationality shown in your passport. It has never had anything to do with exchange rates.
The grade of the job has nothing to do with your personal qualifications but with what the job requires in order for an incumbent to perform it satisfactorily.
I am surprised that QP are willing to negotiate the basic salary as that will put them in the same mess they were in some years back.
There is (or certainly was) a method of setting recruitment salaries for new recruits that was statistically proven and NOTHING should have been allowed to over-ride that methodology. If they are unable to recruit within the scales than they should be reviewing the scales but to be honest that, as it has always been, is difficult to convince QP management of.
