EMP-3-2024 POLICE STAFF PAY 2024

Dear colleague

I am writing to update you on the Police Staff Council’s pay negotiations on the Trade Union Side’s pay and conditions claim for 2024.

The Employers’ Side has made a final offer to the Trade Union Side which is as follows:

  • a 4.75 per cent pay increase on all pay points on the PSC pay spine with effect from 1 September 2024
  • a 4.75 pay increase increase on Standby Allowance from £34.49 to £36.13 with effect from 1 September 2024

The Trade Union Side (UNISON, UNITE and GMB) has decided to undertake a consultative ballot of their members on the offer.

UNISON is recommending that members vote to accept the offer as the best achievable by negotiation while both Unite and GMB have decided not to recommend the offer but will adopt a neutral position.

We expect to receive notification of the outcome in early October. We will update you further thereafter.

Yours sincerely

David Algie
Employers’ Side Secretariat
