NJC Pay

The following is to update members on 2010/11 pay and the NJC trade unions 2011/12 pay claim.

2010/11 Pay

It is with disappointment that I report that the NJC Trade Unions have indicated that while no agreement has been reached on 2010/11 pay they are now concentrating on 2011/12 pay. Against this backdrop NIPSA will need to consider how best to progress the issue of the payment of increments due to our members in various sectors where increments have not been paid. A further bulletin will be issued to members in the various sectors effected i.e. NIHE, Education & Library Boards, Further Education and other affected groups.

2011/12 Pay

At a meeting yesterday, NJC trade unions agreed to lodge the following pay claim:- 

  • An increase of at least £250 on all salaries and spinal column points for 2011/12;

             and

  • A joint review of the employment conditions proposals tabled by the trade unions in 2008/2009.

A copy of the full claim is attached.

It is intended this claim will be formally lodged with the Employers Side next Wednesday 13th October 2010. Trade Union Side are not expecting a formal response from the Employers Side. Whenever a formal response is received a further bulletin will be issued.

Yours sincerely
