We wish to inform you that the NJC pay award for local government services in England has now been accepted. Full details are available here: NJC local government services (‘Green Book’) employees.
As a result of this agreement, staff on NJC terms and conditions will receive a 3.2% pay uplift, backdated to April 2025. The NJC pay scales are negotiated between employer and trade union representatives through the National Joint Council (NJC) for Local Government Services in England.
These pay scales apply to employees on NJC terms and conditions across Northern Ireland and Wales, including those in Education. As a trade union solely based in Northern Ireland, NIPSA does not hold a seat in the NJC negotiations in England and therefore did not ballot our members, the agreed uplift will apply to NIPSA members in Education who are employed under Green Book terms and conditions Management within the Education Authority (EA) are currently preparing an update for staff, which will include the revised NJC pay scales and the expected date of payment.
We will continue to keep you informed as further details become available.
