Local Government Chief Officers Pay 2024
Posted on:
GMB submitted its pay claim for Local Government Chief Officers in March. In response the National Employers have made the following full and final one year offer (1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025) offer:
- With effect from 1 April 2024 an increase of 2.5% on basic salary (Basic salary should exclude other separately identified payments such as Returning Officer fees etc)
Other elements of our claim
Action to close the gender, ethnicity and disability pay gaps
The employers have responded that “the LGA monitors councils statutory reporting of the Gender Pay Gap, providing annual updates through the LG Inform platform. This year, the LGA will be undertaking a programme of work which will include examining how councils report any pay gaps across their workforce, particularly in relation to employees with certain protected characteristics.
The National Employers propose the JNC Joint Secretaries discuss options for working together (perhaps also with the NJC unions, whose claim included a similar request) to capture pay gap information that will be of most benefit to the sector.”
Joint work on model national overtime working and mental health policies
The National Employers “hope this full and final offer can promptly form the basis of an agreement between the two Sides so that Chief Officers, who continue to provide such critical support to their communities, can receive this award as soon as is practicable”.
GMB will consult on this offer and respond as soon as practicable
