New next dates when it is fair to start a new job in the UK public sector

Okay, so this week I've had my first pay slip for my new job. I knew I'd have to pay "emergency taxi" but with an almost £4000 per year pay rise, I expected to come out with roughly what I had done previously with a tax rebate through PAYE in time for Christmas (Yippee!).

However, the pay was roughly £170 less than expected. It turns out that the policy in local government is that, even if you work an entire month (like I have) that you are paid for the % days calendar days in the month after your start date, not the % working days as would be expected. This means for my first month in my new job, I am being paid less than my colleagues on the same pay scale for the same amount of work.

Now, obviously, I don't think this is fair, so I am publishing this list of the next 100 date where you can start a new job in the public sector with it being at detriment to either the employer or the employee.  Fingers crossed this list can help you choose a suitable start date!
