£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.

@RocOn Yes, it's nothing to write home about. I think it's a disappointment that this pay offer has been accepted.

@RocOn

no, it's not unusual. not at all. It's just the perception of public sector workers who think that.

@Tirimisu I retired from teaching this time last year. Our pay rise didn't come in until the New Year but I contacted our HR and they paid me the backpay and contacted Teachers Pensions so they were able to recalculate my pensions. If I hadn't contacted them nothing would have been done. Hope this helps

The cost to our school is £142k with no additional funding. The only way to cover that is staff reductions..

My friends in the private sector are getting payrises.

And average payrises in the private sector are higher. So not sure what you mean.

Check the average payrises

Il get mine in this pay backdated and we have had our extra day annual leave awarded already. I'm not in a school but local authority.

My kids school have worked so hard during COVID and since I'm really pleased for them all however my friend is a teacher and says it needs to be more owing to cost of living

I said don't moan NHS only got £1400 you've got another £525 on top of that!!!

If it's term time only, it will get reduced further as well as just the PT ours reduction.

I'll be getting nearly 10%. Assuming I keep a job, or my hours aren't cut to fund it.

I've been told by our County that we're not getting it as we come under their own pay and conditions and not the NJC ☹️

Yes. The guidance said any ex employees need to ask to receive it (assume this means employers won’t need to pay unless you specifically request it)
I emailed HR today quoting the guidance and they have acknowledged my email, and I should get it back paid

@wizbit93 do you mind me asking which county? I'm a TA at a VA school in Herts, although my contract says that they follow NJC for the holiday structure and the points system, but county are notorious for not following up with the pay increases.

@Queenie8 It's Bucks. I'm gutted! I emailed HR today and they said we got all we are going to get in April, mine was 2% I think?

@wizbit93 oh no, that does not fill me with hope.

For anyone in London note that the GLPC have confirmed this should be £2229 for outer London and £2335 for inner.

Just realised from looking on line that the NJC scales in some councils seem to go above point 44 which is where my employer ends NJC scales.

@thenewaveragebear1983 Do you have a copy of the guidance at all please. I left on the 2nd October and despite requesting it before I left and since the pay award was agreed, my HR are saying they won’t pay it.

Unfortunately I checked with UC this was their response, so no award the following month

Unfortunately all earnings received within an assessment period will be used in the calculation for that assessment period.

It says it in this guidance. I quoted this to my old HR and they said it was being ratified by the directors and “could take a while” but at least they have acknowledged my email

I'm in an independent school so I won't get it 😥

So Buckinghamshire not getting it - I have had my hopes up for nothing!

@thenewaveragebear1983 Thank you. I will quote that to them if they turn me down again

Your council may have local terms and conditions so don't necessarily follow national agreements. You would have to check. Some are locally agreed, but often follow national but gives them flexibility to change if they want to

Me too! I emailed them again today in the hope they had got it wrong 🤣 but they hadn't.

Is the £1925 going to be paid in one lump sum or spread out over the year?
