Pay 2012
update No 7
Our union has raised our concerns
over the imposed changes to performance pay with the Permanent under Secretary,
Jon Thompson. Although he had sympathy with staff who had already seen their
take home pay reduced and their pensions attacked (with more of both to follow)
and he understood the damaging impact on morale; he confirmed that the
Department had been handed the proposals by the Secretary of State to
implement.
We have asked PUS to assist us in
meeting with the Secretary of State to discuss our concerns about this
imposition. We have also invoked the dispute resolution procedure over the
imposition of performance pay.
You can see the impact of the
imposed cuts in the following table:

Members who have not received a payment
because they have not had a report raised on them should raise an informal
grievance against their line management chain.
It is clear that further progress on
this issue must come through our Fair Deal in Defence campaign. We will be
starting a ballot in support of Fair Deal on 1st October. Make sure
your voice is heard; attend any meetings in your
workplace and vote for a fairer future.

Acting Group Secretary
