Local Government and Schools Pay Ballot 2021

If you work in a local authority, a council, a school or an academy, then this is your chance to win yourself a decent pay rise!

GMB has submitted a pay claim and the response back from government was disappointing.  This is as follows:

  • An increase of 2.75% on NJC Pay Point 1
  • An increase of 1.75% on all NJC Pay Points 2 and above
  • Completion of the outstanding work of the joint Term-Time Only review group.

Any pay rises will, once accepted, be backdated to 1st April 2021.

Full details of the pay deal are available on our national bulletin, which you can read here:
