The Local Government Association has come to an agreement on the 2022/23 rates of pay after the unions met on 1 November and agreed to accept the offer. The terms of the agreement include:
NALC has produced updated pay scales* which can be downloaded here and will update its annual leave policy template to reflect these changes shortly.
*Please note that the hourly rates published by NALC differ from those published by the NJC for Principal Authorities as the calculation basis differs.
If requested by an ex-employee to do so, we recommend that employers should pay any monies due to that employee from 1 April 2022 to the employee’s last day of employment.
When salary arrears are paid to ex-employees who were in the Local Government Pension Scheme (LPGS), the employer must inform its local LGPS fund. Employers will need to amend the CARE and final figures (if the ex-employee has pre-April 2014 LGPS membership) accordingly. Further detail is provided in section 15 of the HR guide which is available on the employer resources section of www.lgpsregs.org.
