EMP-2-2024 POLICE STAFF PAY 2024

Dear colleague

The Trade Union Side’s pay and conditions claim for 2024 is as follows:

  • one-year claim
  • an increase of 10 per cent on all pay points
  • an increase of 10 per cent on standby allowance and overnight away from home allowance
  • a guarantee that no pay points will fall below the Joseph Rowntree real living wage during the 2024/25 pay year
  • a variable increase in the value of pay points 9 – 23 to make each incremental step worth £650 creating more equal steps up the lower pay points of the PSC pay spine; this adjustment to be applied prior, and in addition, to the 10 per cent increase.

The constituent parts of the Employers’ Side (National Police Chiefs Council, Association of Police and Crime Commissioners and the Home Office) is continuing to consult on the claim and will take into account the Government’s acceptance of the PRRB recommendation of a 4.75 per cent pay increase for police officers which was announced last week. The Employers’ Side is due to meet and formally respond to the Trade Union Side’s claim later this month.

We will update you further on developments.

Yours sincerely
