look out for your pay ballot and vote!
PAY OFFER 2024
UNISON members will be balloted from 7 August until 3 September with a recommendation to reject the offer.
At the start of the year UNISON, along with our sister trade unions in HE, submitted a joint claim asking for an increase on all pay points of at least RPI + 2% or a flat rate of at least £2,500 (whichever is greater) and a commitment to restore lost pay.
Earlier this month UCEA, the employers association for universities submitted their own offer in response to our claim:
UCEA’s offer follows a staged approach which results in uplifts ranging from 2.5% for the highest paid to 5.7% for our lowest paid members. On 1 August 2024, an uplift of £900 a year will be applied to all pay points. From 1 March 2025, a further, more specific amount will be added to spine points to complete the uplift for 2024-25.
The effect of this offer is that the award is distributed towards the lower spine points. That is, grade 5 receives a total 5.7% uplift and the uplift gradually tapers to 2.5% at grade 38 and above.
(For more details on the offer please ask your local branch).
