Local Pay Bargaining takes place on an annual basis at Imperial, involving negotiations between the College and the Joint Trades Unions (JTUs).
Following the College’s final pay offer, the JTUs, representing UCU, Unite and Unison, were not able to agree to this pay award.
The College has carefully considered its position and the representations of the Unions during the pay bargaining process. For reasons noted in the correspondence available below, the College believes its final offer of £800 or 1%, whichever is the greater, to be appropriate in the current financial circumstances when assessed against the pay benchmarking and incremental benefits available to many staff and has implemented this offer with effect from 1 August 2012.
The College’s pay scales and schedules of allowances have been updated to include the above mentioned increase, which applies to all staff on terms and conditions of service subject to local pay bargaining. Payments at the appropriate new rates will be made in August 2012 salaries. The revised scales are now available. Documentary background to the pay negotiations process is also available to view.
