NJC payscales – trade unions consult members on employer’s side pay offer

Organisations using NJC payscales may be interested in recent developments with regard to a pay increase for 2014/15. On 20 March 2014, the employer’s side of the National Joint Council announced their pay offer from 1 April 2014.

Employees on salaries starting at £14,880 per annum would receive an uplift of one per cent, with additional increases for those on lower salaries (points 5-10) which are set out below:

• £580 on pay point 5
• £550 on pay point 6
• £400 on pay point 7
• £275 on pay point 8
• £200 on pay point 9
• £175 on pay point 10

Trade unions are currently consulting with members on rejection of the offer and industrial action.
