The NJC salary scales for 2008/09 are not yet available and are unlikely to be published for some time. The Unions have lodged a pay claim for an increase of 6% or 50p an hour (whichever is the greater). Local Government Employers have offered 2.2%.
New scales will not be available until these negotiations are complete. NICVA is not involved in these negotiations in any way but we will publish the updated salary scales as they become available.
The current pay scales are available at www.communityni.org/index.cfm/section/article/page/SectorJobs.
- Statutory Maternity/ Adoption/ Paternity pay will rise to £117.18 from 1 April 2008.
- Statutory Sick Pay will rise to £75.40 from 6 April 2008.
