Alternatively, it's called your employee number on the contract or statement of written particulars you received when you joined.

Salary scales and how you progress up by increment points
New starters are paid at the base point of the grade. You progress up one point each year on the anniversary of your start date in post, until you reach the highest point for the grade.
If you move to a new job in the council that is the same grade, you move on your current pay scale point and retain your original incremental date.
