Members have voted to accept the UKIO Pay Offer following a ballot of Unite members in UKIO.

The offer was:-

• 3% Merit Pot – with agreed distribution guidelines for managers, which will result in individuals rated 3 or higher and who are within their salary range receiving a minimum 2% increase
• Minimum FTE Income of £17,117 (equivalent of London Living Wage) for employees regardless of location
• Budget of 0.5% for “out of cycle” increases

As part of the agreement a process that will enable members to find out exactly where they sit on their salary scale was agreed which is a step forward in Unite’s campaign for pay transparency.

It was also agreed that Unite and the business would  meet quarterly to discuss other items relating to terms and conditions that Unite and the Company want to table.

Unite have already asked for a review of the On-Call Allowances/Payments, an increase in the allowance for eye-tests and glasses and the introduction of a Carers Policy.

The first meeting will take place in April.

The result of the ballot was:-

Accept the offer               91%
Reject the offer                9%

Turnout                            47%

The increases will be effective from 1st April 2016
