UNISON police staff members in England and Cymru have voted by an overwhelming majority to accept this year’s pay offer.
Nearly half of all UNISON police staff members who were eligible to vote in the ballot took part. Unite and GMB police staff members also voted to accept the pay offer.
This year’s agreed pay award for police staff in England and Cymru is as follows:
- 2% increase on all pay points
- 2% increase in standby allowance from £36.13 to £37.65
- £10 increase in the Overnight Away from Home Allowance from £50 to £60
- Harmonisation of the three existing essential car user engine-size allowance rates to a single rate of £1,239 (being the existing highest engine-size rate)
The award will be backdated to 1 September.
The Police Staff Council pay spine showing the revised salary figures will be published next week.
UNISON hopes that police forces can implement the pay rise as soon as possible. Some forces may be able to pay it in their November pay run, and others will do so in December. Local UNISON branches will be able to confirm this.
