CoSLA has agreed the 2017/18 pay award
The pay deal is..
• Employees earning less than £35,000 a £350* increase (*pro rata based on 37 hours)
• Employees earning more than £35,000 a 1 per cent increase.
• Scottish Local Government Living Wage is the minimum
pay for all pay and allowances including additional hours, contractual
overtime and other allowances. It will be pensionable.
Letter to branches from Dougie Black, SJC Secretary:
I can now confirm that COSLA have at a Special
Leaders Meeting now agreed the SJC Pay award for 2017/18 and the
appropriate agreement for issuing to all local authorities is being
drafted and will be distributed within the next few days.
The Leaders have also agreed to a joint approach to the
Scottish Government making the case for additional resources for
local government and if this was successful they recognise that
additional money for future pay awards is a priority.
We will also be meeting with COSLA within the next few
weeks to start preliminary discussions on a future Pay Strategy and
hoping to conclude this by December this year.
