RE: To bid or not to bid ? that is the question23 Jan 2024 00:48
Pay increase from April has already been negotiated and agreed as part of last years late negotiations. I believe it’s 4% or could be 4.6%.
It will therefore depend on what inflation is at that time.
Overtime had already been stopped in 23/24 financial year for the first half, creeping back in to use since start of Q3.
Overtime is something the business will utilise more not less, as they look to made good on 55,000 internal and external staff. I imagine this will reduce as we hit targets, not before.
