2025 pay claim
The Officers’ Side of the Soulbury Committee submitted its pay and conditions claim for the period 1 September 2025 to 31 August 2026.
The priorities of the submission are as follows:
- A pay increase of at least 5% on all pay points and allowances, which will begin to address the substantial real terms cuts which Soulbury employees have, like other public sector workers, suffered since 2009.
- Discussions to continue on the SPA system and London Area Payments.
In addition, the Officers’ Side welcomed that some of the changes to the pay structure proposed in the previous claim were agreed and said that local authorities should be encouraged to use the points at the top of the A&B pay scales to improve recruitment and retention of staff.
The Officers’ Side proposes further improvements to the pay structure. Full details on these and other aspects of the claim are
here.
Further updates will be provided in due course.
