THIS BALLOT IS NOW CLOSED
Since Kent County Council (KCC) sits outside the remit of the National Joint Council (NJC) for Local Government Services, GMB need to ballot our members about a pay deal specific to KCC workers each year.
Every year GMB carries out a pay survey for KCC members. What was clear from last year’s survey, was that members wanted the following:
GMB firmly believes that your pay rise should not be related to your performance at work. You should be able to understand your pay and grading! Most importantly, KCC job roles need to be revaluated. We got most of what you asked for this year but rest assured, we will not rest on our laurels. We will continue to fight for fairer pay and better terms and conditions for our members in KCC.
The offer is set out below. We believe it is the best offer we can get through negotiations. We need you to tell us whether you wish to accept the pay deal that has been negotiated between the unions and KCC. If a majority of members do not accept the deal, we may need to ballot you for industrial action.
KCC Pay Offer 2023/24
To find out what this means for you, check out our guidance grid here.
If you work in an academy, most will follow KCC's guidance, although others will now set their own pay and this ballot will only be advisory for them.
If you are not in the Kent range and believe GMB are not involved in pay talks in your school, please contact us on inforochester@gmb.org.uk
