Members' allowances increase
The Members' Allowances scheme states that any
uplifts or changes to Members’ Allowances are implemented on
the same date and by the same amount as officers’ salaries
are adjusted, in line with the National Joint Conditions. This is
normally a percentage, but as it was a fixed amount for 2023/24, a
decision was needed for the level of increase.
The National Joint Council agreed that all SCP’s in Grades 5
– 12 would increase by £1925 per SCP, meaning that
lower paid employee’s would benefit from a higher percentage
increase compared to higher earners and further states that any
“other” payments made, outside of the pay scales, are
subject to a 3.88% increase. This was applied in the same way last
year, following a recommendation from the Independent Remuneration
Panel on Members' allowances, and the Panel have approved this
approach for 2023/24.
