Pay deal agreed at Waltham Forest College

The deal shows there is no excuse for college employers nationally to continue ignoring the severity of the cost of living crisis facing staff by offering huge real terms pay cuts. 

The pay deal will see a 3% consolidated increase on all pay spinal points and the introduction of two additional spinal points allowing automatic incremental progression with effect from 01 September 2022. Most lecturing staff will now have an additional increment in September 2022 worth approx. 3.1% and a further increment in September 2023.  

On top of this, all staff will receive an unconditional non-consolidated payment this month (July) of £750 pro rata for those earning less than £25k and £500 pro rata for those earning more than £25k. The college also agreed joint actions to address workload concerns.
