The employers’ side have today put the following “full and final” offer to the NJC unions:

• With effect from 1 April 2024, an increase of £1,290 (pro rata for part-time employees) to be paid as a consolidated, permanent addition on all NJC pay points 2 to 43 inclusive.
• With effect from 1 April 2024, an increase of 2.50 per cent on all pay points in grades 44 – 62.

All other aspects of the unions pay claim are rejected.

Following receipt of the unions pay claim on 29 February, they say that they consulted councils and then met initially on 16 April to discuss the key themes to come out of those sessions. They then adjourned for private political discussions before reconvening and making this offer today.

This offer is made with the aim of achieving an early settlement. The unions will now determine their response.
