The 1% Pay increase due under the existing public sector pay agreement on 1st October 2022, has been temporarily stalled, pending the result of the ballot on the recent pay agreement due on 7th October 2022.  This is to allow the correct calculation of teh new pay scales.

If the  new  agreement is approved, the first increase (3%) will need to be applied retrospectively from 2nd February 2022 before the 1% increase due on 1st October.

We expect a circular letter to issue in mid October, however from a technical payroll perspective, these increase will need to be applied in separate months, but will be retrospective to the appropiate dates.
