NALC publishes local government services pay agreement 2024/25

We have published an advice note on the local government services pay agreement 2024/25.

The Local Government Association has informed us that the National Joint Council for Local Government Services (NJC) has agreed on pay rates applicable from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025.

Some of the key information includes:

  • With effect from 1 April 2024, an increase of £1,290 (pro rata for part-time employees) will be paid as a consolidated, permanent addition on all NJC pay points 2 to 43 inclusive.
  • With effect from 1 April 2024, an increase of 2.50 per cent on all pay points above 43.
  • With effect from 1 April 2024, an increase of 2.50 per cent on all allowances.
  • Backpay for employees who have left employment since 1 April 2024. If an ex-employee requests it, we recommend that employers pay any monies due to that employee from 1 April 2024 to the employee’s last day of employment.
  • When salary arrears are paid to ex-employees in the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS), the employer must inform its local LGPS fund.
