CIRCULAR NJC/12/15
Dear Sir/Madam
CONTINUAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PAYMENTS 2015:
PAYMENTS BY AUTHORITY
1. The NJC has agreed an increase of 1% on the above payments effective from the 1 July 2015.
2. Appendix A attached contains the revised payments by individual fire authority.
3. You will be aware that in order to ensure all employees receive a pay increase on promotion where they otherwise may not as a result of the loss of a CPD payment, the NJC applies a minimum guaranteed increase upon promotion in such circumstances. That figure will be £320 pa with effect from 1 July 2015. For those on the retained duty system the figure will be £80 pa with the same effective date.
4. The attached table excludes the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service as negotiations continue to take place following the introduction of this single service.
Yours faithfully
SIMON PANNELL
