| Dear school/local authority staff members
As the NJC Pay Offer for 22/23 was accepted by a majority of members you should be receiving the increase, backdated to April, very soon. If you are in receipt of any in-work benefits, such as Universal Credit, you may wish to ask your employer to stagger the backdated pay you are owed in order to prevent any reduction to these.
Once again the pay increase will be implemented over 6 months past the anniversary date and this is something the Unions would like to rectify. Therefore, the NJC Joint Trade Unions will be meeting in the New Year to formulate the pay claim for 2023/24 with a view to submitting this to the employer shortly after in the hope that agreement can be achieved in time for an increase in April.
In advance of GMB and the Joint NJC Recognised Unions submitting a pay claim to the National Employer, we would appreciate it if you would please take a few minutes to share with us your thoughts as to what should be included in this. |
