£1925 per year

[PupInAPram]

If you are covered by the njc pay award (local authority, school support staff etc) you will get £1925 per year pay rise, backdated to April 2022. It's flat rate for everyone (although obviously pro rata for part time). I'm in a school and we will get ours in November pay. It's going to be a massive help.

I'm not a teacher, academic mentor so I do academic interventions and a lot of in classroom/ TA type work. I'm employed in a primary school and my pay is subsidised by the government (so the school don't pay very much for me, most of my salary comes from the government, but it's not high).

I'm employed by local government but not in a school anymore. I literally work for the local council.
How do I find out if I'm entitled to it?
I'm KR6 but don't know how to marry up the KR to the points it seems to talk about!
Can anyone help please?

And all us other mere mortals get nothing this year, or last year, or any year! I don’t get how so many people get a raise every year when it isn’t performance related? Meh-I’m just jealous! I may retrain to be a teacher.

Thank you for clarifying!

That is unusual, what industry are you in?

How do we work out pro rata for part time?

I wouldn't. Teachers are bloody heroes but really who wants to?!?! The pay is not worth it.

Thanks to those that do though. You deserve every bloody penny and some.

Divide the £1925 by the number of hours per week a full-time person works in your organisation, then multiply by the number you are contracted to work

So if eg you work 20 hours but normal full time is 37, it will be:
(£1925 / 37) x 20 =. £1040

Any word on teacher pay increases?

@Nirvananurse please do train, there is a national recruitment crisis. And 40% of teachers are leaving the profession within the first five years. If you have a relevant degree already it is only a year of training to complete a PGCE.

School Teachers' Pay and Conditions (STPCD) update

The DfE has now published the School Teachers' Pay and Conditions 2022 (DfE, 2022).
This Order will come into force on 3 November 2022 with retrospective effect from 1st September 2022

The revised STPCD document confirms that a 5 percent increase will be applied to all eligible pay and allowance ranges and advisory points, with higher increases to some parts of the main pay range as a step towards achieving a minimum starting salary of £30,000.

A 5 percent increase will be applied to all pay and allowance ranges and advisory points

There will be higher increases to some parts of the main pay range for example MPS1 as the DfE work towards achieving a minimum starting salary of £30,000 for Early career Teachers.

All pay uplifts will be back dated to 1 September 2022.

Subject to a ‘review mechanism’ as outlined in paragraph 4.34 of the STRB report, it has also recommended a further 3 percent increase from September 2023.

Teaching unions have not agreed to this pay award and are balloting staff with a view to industrial action. However, that does not prevent it being implemented.

Me too. I'm really pleased about it.

Plus the extra days leave, that's worth quite a bit to me.

What industry do you work in? Even the minimum wage goes up each year!

Most private sector people I know have had a pay rise this year, better than 4% usually as well.

The pay rise is actually a bit of a disaster for me - in the short term anyway. I currently get carers allowance but the pay rise will put me above the threshold for Carers. So a roughly £50 increase in my wages will mean losing the £278 carers allowance leaving me over £200 / 4 week period worse off

Can you up your pension to account for the extra?

*What if you have left the post, will we still be entitled to it? I only left on Friday!

You are entitled to the backpay, but only if you ask!*

I left in June this year. Does that make me eligible?

Increase your pension contribution by £50 a month and you will receive the carers allowance still.

So glad they are finally awarding support staff a living wage. I was a Lsa for 10 years before changing jobs in Nov 2021 so no back pay for me. Wages was my main reason for finishing.

Good luck.

in the meantime join a union. That’s why they’re getting a well deserved rise.

Are you in a teachers union? They’re balloting members so look out in your post if you are.

I voted to reject the pay offer so am very disappointed it has been accepted. Once the £1925 has been pro-rata'd for part-time hours and term time only it's not a big pay rise at all.

Brilliant thank you I didn’t know I could do this 🙏🏻 Xx

It’ll be exactly the same % as the full time pay rise.

It’s still the same percentage as if you worked full time though, like any other year. It’s only a small percentage if you’re a high earner.

This is the best news!! This is the first year I was wondering where the money for my ground rent bill will come from for my small flat. Now it's covered in full.
