LOCAL GOVERNMENT CHIEF OFFICERS PAY OFFER 2025
Posted on:
You will be aware that in February the GMB submitted an above inflation pay claim for Local Government Chief Officers asking for
- An increase of 6 per cent or an increase that is no less favourable to Chief Officers than the NJC claim – as a step towards pay restoration.
- An additional day of paid leave, in line with NJC term
The full pay claim can be found here
In response the National Employers, following consultation with councils, have made the following ‘full and final’ one year offer bearing in mind that on 11 June the government will be announcing the details of its spending review and councils are hopeful that it will provide councils with a three-year funding settlement which, in turn, could, from 2026 onwards, enable the employers to consider alternatives to the one-year pay offers of recent years.
The Offer
A full and final, one-year (1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026) offer with effect from 1 April 2025, of an increase of 3.20% on basic salary
The GMB NJC/Schools Committee will be meeting to discuss this offer on Friday 2nd May in conjunction with the offers received for Local Government Craft Workers and Green Book staff. I shall advise further following that meeting.
