A meeting of the UNISON NJC was held on Wednesday, 09 September where results of the branch consultation where considered.
An overwhelming majority, 89% of members, accepted the offer on a 17% turnout. GMB and UNITE members also voted to accept. As a result, the employers have been asked to implement the agreement ASAP.
The settlement: From 1 April 2009
- Pay will increase by 1.25% on SCPs 4 to 10 and by 1% on SCPs 11 to 49 inclusive.
- Basic annual leave will also increase from 20 to 21 days for employees with less than five years’ service.
- The employers and trade unions will also endeavour to produce a best practice statement on handling redundancies by 1 December 2009.
We will be producing UNISON pay scale cards and these should be available in the near future.
