At a meeting of the Local Government Services Executive on 2nd April, the employers tabled a revised and final offer to the Trade Union Side as follows:
- 2.45% on all spinal column points, plus an additional £100 on SCPs 4, 5 and 6;
- The NJC will seek to complete by 31st December 2008 the review of the national agreement agreed as part of the 2007 settlement; and
- The NJC will seek to agree by 31st December 2008 the pay settlements effective from 1st April 2009 and 1st April 2010.
The unions will now begin the process of consultation with their respective memberships with the outcome expected to be announced in mid-May.
