The local government strike on 14th October has been suspended, pending consultation on a two-year pay offer from the employers. Details of what the proposed new scales would be for those on the old (NJC) contracts can be seen on the second page of this document.
The proposals are:
£1,065 (8.56%) on SCP5 with effect from 1 January 2015
£1,000 (7.93%) on SCP6 with effect from 1 January 2015
£800 (6.19%) on SCP7 with effect from 1 January 2015
£550 (4.13%) on SCP8 with effect from 1 January 2015
£350 (2.55%) on SCP9 with effect from 1 January 2015
£325 (2.32%) on SCP10 with effect from 1 January 2015
2.20% on SCPs 11 and above with effect from 1 January 2015
Removal of SCP5 with effect from 1 October 2015
£325 non-consolidated payment on SCPs 5, 6 & 7 to be paid in December 2014
£150 non-consolidated payment on SCPs 8, 9 & 10 to be paid in December 2014
£100 non-consolidated payment on SCPs 11-25 incl to be paid in December 2014
0.45% of proposed new salaries on SCPs 26-49 incl, of which £100 to be paid in December 2014 and the remaining balance to be paid in April 2015
For most staff, this will mean a 2.2% pay rise from January 2015 to Apr 2016 [as Scale Point 11 is £18,210 in London].
Members should be clear that there is no backdating of this proposed pay deal to the start of the financial year (01 April 2014), so that for virtually every member in Camden it would still amount to a real pay cut. A non-consolidated payment is a one-off lump sum, which does not became a part of one’s basic pay going forward.
