Following a series of negotiations between Unite and PGDS, members are currently voting on the Pay Offer.

PGDS has offered a 2.5% pay pot for the 2016 pay review, plus an additional 0.5% pot which will be targeted to address roles where there are key skills that are crucial to PGDS going forward and where the loss of those skills would damage the service provided by PGDS. This will include where role holders find themselves lower in the pay range. We believe it would be unfair to address these from the main pay pot and agree a separate pot to deal with these issues makes sense.

PGDS have also stated, in line with what members asked, that all employees rated effective or higher would be eligible for an increase.

Steve O’Donnell, Senior Rep said “As part of the Unite Pay survey last November, the majority of respondents said that they wanted a pay increase between 2 – 3% and that any individual who performed to an acceptable level (i.e. rated effective or higher), regardless of where they sat in the salary range, should be eligible for an increase.

We believe that the offer is at the top end of deals reached in the Finance Sector and delivers what the majority of members who completed our survey said they were looking for as a settlement.”

As a result the negotiating team are recommending acceptance of the offer.
