NHS payroll officers win £1,500 regradingy

by John Gallacher Secretary A&C Committee

NHS Payroll Officers in payroll offices across Scotland have won a re-grading of nearly £1500 at the top of the scale thanks to UNISON.

The claim was resolved following intensive negotiations in a sub-committee set up by the NHS Scotland Terms& Conditions Committee. The deal was endorsed by branches in a series of delegate meetings in West Campbell Street over the past month.

It extends the Whitley A&C 4 scale into the mid-point of A&C 5, adding £1,445 to the top of the scale. All staff get two additional increments, backdated to 22 September 2004.

Aileen Stewart, Chair of the A&C Committee said: "Payroll staff deserve this award, and UNISON is pleased that we could.

"Now that this issue is settled, we will support payroll staff in achieving the best possible grade under Agenda For Change and also in the challenges they face in delivering A4 assimilation and the move to Shared Services across Scotland"
