I just got my EP P2 renewed under the old criteria for one year. My basic is just under the cutoff of 4.5K.
My upcoming pay review should take me well above that cutoff if my boss is to be believed.
Therefore my question is do I ask the company to re-apply with the new salary, or just wait for the current pass to run out next year. If so do I get get back on the 2 year cycle?
Life is short, paddle harder!!

Leave it alone. You will probably go back on the 2year cycle on the next renewal. Unless they do away with 2year passes. They did that with REPs used to be either 5 or 10 year REPs I and another here on the board both managed to get one of the final 10 years passes before they stopped it. They are constantly moving the goalposts.
