Pay Award 2015 To consider the report of the Head of Paid Service. Minutes: The Committee considered the report of the Head of Paid Service which outlined proposals for a 2.5% pay award on the salary of all staff with effect from 1 April 2015.
In accordance with the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), the Head of Paid Service sought independent advice on market positioning regarding pay from Total Rewards Projects LTD (TRP) which had recommended a pay award of 2.5%. TRP also recommended that the lowest entry scale in Band L be removed from 31 March 2015 so as to be in line with the Outer London ‘Living Wage’. This would leave just two pay scales in the band, with the minimum to be set at £15,103 per annum and the maximum to be set at £15,500 per annum. Following negotiations between management and the recognised Trade Unions (Unison and GMB (MPO), the recognised unions informed management that they accepted the offer.
Members thanked staff for their hard work and fully supported the 2.5% pay award.
RESOLVED: (a) That the pay award of 2.5% on the salary of all staff be APPROVED with effect from 1 April 2015.
(b) That the lowest entry scale in Band L is removed from 31 March 2015 leaving two scale points in this band. The minimum to be set at £15,103 per annum. The second and maximum scale point to be set at £15,500 per annum.
