6 | Staff Pay Award 2023/4 |
Staff Pay Award Report - 2023 2024
Staff Pay Award Report - 2023-2024 - Annex Consideration was given to a report of the Chief Executive that recommended a full and final pay award for 2023/4 of 6% following negotiations with the trade unions in response to their pay claim for 2023/4. A flat percentage increase was recommended which differed from the NJC (National Joint Council) pay offer which remains to be settled. It was noted that over the last 10 years staff pay awards within the Council had resulted in pay retaining pace with CPIH (Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers' housing costs)inflation and for those on lower pay points, pay had increased at a higher rate than CPIH inflation over this period. The pay of local authority employees on national conditions of service had, in the main, fallen behind inflation over the same period. The following recommendations were proposed by Councillor K North and seconded by Councillor K Brooks and unanimously agreed by the Committee.
Resolved: 1. That subject to full Council approval of the unbudgeted sum set out in paragraph 7 of the report, a full and final pay award for 2023/4 of 6% be made with effect from 1 April 2023 to all employees except the Chief Executive. 2. That the pay award for the Chief Executive for 2023/4 is the same as that agreed nationally by ALACE (the Association of Local Authority Chief Executives and Senior Managers) for Chief Executives pay for 2023. |
