JET salary increase. Did yours show up yet?

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to check in with fellow JETs—especially current ones. So we recently got that salary increase, right? But I’m a bit confused about when it actually takes effect. I remember reading that the new pay grade starts in April, but now I’m not so sure.

I know we all get paid on different days depending on our contracting org, but I’ve talked to a few ALTs who already got their April salary, and the raise wasn’t reflected at all. I’ve also heard that in some places, the increase won’t kick in until May.

Honestly, I don’t really get how the salary system works here (maybe I’m just dumb lol), but if it’s supposed to start from April, I’m really hoping I see it when I check my account.

Would love to hear how it’s going for others—did you get the raise already, or are you still waiting too?

Thanks in advance!
