Local government pay offer accepted by unions

The National Association of Local Councils (NALC) has been notified by the Local Government Association (LGA) that it has come to an agreement on the 2022/23 pay offer with the unions representing local government employees

The unions met on 1 November 2022 and agreed to accept the offer. The terms of that agreement include the following:

• With effect from 1 April 2022, an increase of £1,925 on all NJC pay points 1 and above.
• With effect from 1 April 2023, an increase of one day to all employees’ annual leave entitlement.

NALC has produced updated pay scales (must be logged in to view) and will update its annual leave policy template to reflect these changes shortly.

Local (parish and town) councils in membership that would like further advice on these changes should contact their county associations.
