Pay Update - 2 April 2008

Published 10th April 2008

At a meeting of the national Joint Council for Local Government Staff the employer’s side made a further offer which they have stated is their final offer for this pay round

The offer is:

• 2.45% on all scale points on the national pay spine, giving a rate of £6.53 per hour on scale point 7, the first point to which the 2.45% applies
  
  
• An additional £100 on scale points 4, 5 and 6, giving an increase of 3.3% on those scale points and pay rates of £6.20, £6.28 and £6.37 pence an hour. These spinal column points are below the minimum level in the NALC/SLCC agreement.
  
  
• The NJC will seek to conclude the review of the National Agreement (Green Book) agreed as part of 2007 settlement. NALC and SLCC have agreed to review the agreement for the local council sector in 2009 once this NJC review has taken place.
  
  
• The NJC will seek to agree by 31 December 2008 the pay settlements effective from 1 April 2009 and 1 April 2010
  The large public sector unions are consulting on whether they will take industrial action in support of their claim.
