It's in! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-66188500

What pay rises have been announced?

Police officers: 7%
Prison officers: 7%
Teachers: 6.5%
Junior doctors: 6%
Armed forces: 5%

Armed Forces - lowest of all. Typical as easy targets, but a one off £1k 'consolidated' payment.

Armed Forces personnel to get 5% pay rise – police officers to get 7%

The Government has announced that most public sector workers will get at least 6%.

Once again the strikes have worked. People moan about them, but they work every time. It’s a shame it gets to that point.

In before the elite blame the pay rises for inflation.

Looks pretty decent compared to mine

Yeah I got 4.2% lol

"but a one off £1k 'consolidated' payment."

Anyone know if this is a lump sum award or £1k added to salary THEN 5% increase?

I know what a non-consolidated payment it, but not this!

ETA: A consolidated pay rise would be a permanently increased salary, often without any mention of how it affects tax, bonuses or any other responsibilities.

Unfunded apparently though except teachers. So that's a lot of money missing from hospital budgets, etc isn't it?

All higher than the nurses got except armed forces.

Not quite. Wife's school has issued a letter to all staff members that are currently paid an increment - these are cancelled as of August!

Spare a thought for college lecturers

They didn't get a raise when the teachers got their last one, or the one before......

Good to see the rise for junior doctors. I read that they start on less than £30k a year when on training which is too low IMO. Feels morally wrong when compared to tube drivers.

What did the nurses get?

Stu999 · 13 Jul 2023 at 14:38

Very inflationary. Will have to keep interest rates going up.

5%. They did also get a one off payment for last year.

Council workers get 1-2% after years (and years) of frozen pay, so armed forces aren't the lowest

Sweet if all those got a pay rise, it means I can also increase my contract day rate, cheers for the strikes all!

Rotty · 13 Jul 2023 at 15:55

Seems to be a bit of a bottle job by the government

tom_nieto · 13 Jul 2023 at 16:03

Can’t see 6% being accepted by junior doctors in England when Scotland have just accepted a 14% increase over 2 years.

errm, what about the rest of us public sector workers that get abused at on a daily basis ?
