Pay, Pensions Terms and Conditions - University Hospitals Birmingham UNISON

Proposed Pay Freeze will NOT affect increments

All members will be glad to heard that the announced pay freeze will not affect our progression through incridments, which UNISON asserts is a contractual right of staff in any case. That still leave the freeze on cost of living increase for the next two years but UNISON will be fighting hard to see that off.

money_pounds 1st April brought the third and final year's cost of living increase of our current three year pay deal so you should see an increase in your next pay slip. This covers all staff on Agenda for Change terms and conditions (so everyone one other than Doctors, Dentists and very senior managers).

The deal means from 1st April this year:

An increase of 2.25% to the national salary scales
A flat rate increase of £420 to pay spine points 1-12 [i.e bands 1-3]
Reduction in the length of band 5 from nine to eight pay points by deleting the middle pay point (pay spine point 20).

When we look at what is going on around us members will be relieved that this increase has been delivered, having needed a lot of pressure from UNISON to make sure this year was implimented. However with inflation at 3.7% RPI this doesn't actually meet the increase in our actual cost of living, and the struggle for better pay continues in what will be very difficult negotiations for our next pay award.
