Ferdinand | EducationGhana | February 29 | Understanding GES Promotions: Notional Date vs. Substantive Date Explained
“Discover the difference between Notional Date and Substantive Date in GES promotions. Learn how these dates influence your career progression and salary adjustments.”
Introduction
Navigating promotions within the Ghana Education Service (GES) involves understanding key concepts such as Notional Date and Substantive Date.
While both terms may appear in your promotion letter, they hold distinct meanings and implications for your career progression.
Let’s delve into the differences between Notional Date and Substantive Date to demystify their significance in GES promotions.
Understanding Notional Date
Definition: The Notional Date serves as the official date of promotion, upgrade, or appointment for GES staff. It signifies the moment when a staff member becomes qualified for advancement to a higher rank or grade within the service.
Example: For instance, if a teacher is appointed to the rank of Senior Superintendent II in September 2020, their Notional Date for promotion to Superintendent I would be September 2024. Notional Dates determine the next promotion date and establish seniority among teachers on the same rank.
Understanding Substantive Date
Definition: In contrast, the Substantive Date is the officially sanctioned date for the staff member to receive their new salary on the upgraded rank. It represents the point at which the employer approves the payment of the new salary corresponding to the promoted or upgraded position.
Example: If a teacher qualifies for promotion in 2024 but is not promoted until 2026 due to financial clearance or other factors, their Substantive Date of promotion would be 2026. Substantive Dates are influenced by financial considerations and employer capacity to pay.

Key Differences and Implications
- Purpose: Notional Dates are used for promotion and appointment purposes, determining the next promotion date and establishing seniority. Substantive Dates, on the other hand, dictate when the staff member receives their new salary.
- Payment: While Notional Dates signify eligibility for promotion, Substantive Dates indicate when the employer officially sanctions the payment of the new salary. The delay in promotion may result in a misalignment between the Notional Date and the Substantive Date.
Conclusion
Understanding the distinction between Notional Date and Substantive Date is crucial for GES staff navigating promotions and career advancement.
While Notional Dates signify eligibility and establish seniority, Substantive Dates dictate the timing of salary adjustments.
By keeping track of both dates and their implications, individuals can effectively plan their career trajectories within the Ghana Education Service.
