Perhaps your correspondent who moonlights as one of our staff hasn’t had an upgrading for a while for a good reason. Accuracy is a basic requirement of good journalism and sadly it is lacking in your correspondent’s reporting.

Staff at Quest receive annual increases in pay and allowances in line with their employment agreements. Pay rates at Quest are not among the lowest in the industry; they are among the best.

Grading reviews are held annually and based on performance, some get upgraded and some don’t.

The MEAA has advised Quest that no current staff member has raised with them a specific grievance about pay.

If any member of staff feels they should raise the issue with their line manager, or the Managing Editor.

No editorial staff are asked to work Good Friday or Christmas.
