National Joint Council for Local Government Services

NJC CIRCULAR 2/08

2008/09 PAYSCALES & ALLOWANCES

You will know that the Employers’ Side of the NJC made a final pay offer for 2008/09 of 2.45% (plus an additional £100 per annum on spinal column points 4, 5 & 6). No agreement has been reached and this failure to agree has been referred to arbitration by the Trade Union Side. The Employers have acceded to this request.

Given the time that has elapsed since the award was due, and the likelihood of further delays arising from the arbitration process, the two Sides of the NJC have now decided that the Employers’ final offer should be implemented, with effect from 1 April 2008.

The new rates are attached at Annex 1. The new rates for allowances up-rated in line with pay are also set out in the Annex. In accordance with usual practice, Inner and Outer Fringe Allowances are the only London Weighting rates included in the Annex.

A further circular will follow once the arbitration process is complete.

Yours sincerely
