The National Employers will be meeting later this week for an initial discussion. Councils will be consulted during March at the usual round of [virtual] regional pay consultation briefings. We are hosting the virtual pay consultation briefing for the East Midlands to take place on Monday 15th March at 10.00am. To register a place, email Mila Pereira at mila.pereira@emcouncils.gov.uk
The National Employers will then consider feedback from those events before responding formally to the unions on a date yet to be agreed. We have been advised that the agreed date will be after the Elections on 6th May 2021.
We will keep you informed of any developments as they arise.
