As you may or may not be aware, Unite have negotiated a 1.5% pay increase for ITS, which got agreed by members on Friday afternoon. This will be a percentage, rather than a fixed cash amount which CLPS implemented with their 1.5% pot.
We are aware that some of you have received letters from ITS saying you are not getting a pay increase this year, this is not the case. We emailed everyone who will be getting the pay increase, and is included in the bonus scheme as in previous years.
The standard pay increase for 2010 for most ITS staff was 0%, with a 1% pot shared amongst the 30% 'top performers' - after a number of meetings, we were offered 0.5% as a final offer. This was taken to members and the offer rejected. Unite then took a mandate back to ITS HR rejecting the offer, and advising staff were ready to ballot for Industrial Action. We were then able to negotiate for the 1.5% offer to bring us in line with your CLPS colleagues.
This will now be backdated to 1st January 2010, and paid in August payroll. Your on-call / overtime that you have been paid this year should automatically be included in the backdating also. The new on-call / overtime rates are included below, please ensure you submit any overtime/on-call with the higher rates from now on.
You should receive a letter from HR advising you of your new salary in the near future also.
We are still fighting for compensation for the pension changes, with an effective 7% paycut from this month for many of you. Negotiations are continuing and we will advise all members asap.
