Dear Chief Executive,
2018 and 2019 PAYSCALES & ALLOWANCES
Agreement has been reached between the National Employers and the NJC Trade Union Side on rates of pay applicable from 1 April 2018 and 1 April 2019.
UNISON and GMB both voted to accept whilst Unite voted to reject. However, in line with the Constitution of the NJC, Unite accepts the collective majority decision of the other unions that the pay award should now be implemented.
The new pay rates are attached at Annex 1.
The new rates for allowances up-rated by two per cent in each year are set out at Annex 2.
Yours sincerely
Simon Pannell, Rehana Azam, Jim Kennedy, Heather Wakefield
Joint Secretaries
