Rank Maintenance
A Consultant must have met the relevant requirements by the end of the calendar month for them to be Paid As their Recognised Rank.
Rank Retention
A Consultant must be Paid As Rank at least once in a set number of rolling months per Rank to retain their Recognised Rank.
Paid As Rank

The Paid As Rank may be the same as or lower than the Consultant’s Recognition Rank due to not achieving some or all of the requirements of that Recognition Rank.
