EMP 1/2025 - Police staff pay 2025
Dear colleague
The Employers’ Side has been notified by the Trade Union Side of its pay and conditions claim for 2025 which is as follows:
-
one-year claim
-
a 'restorative' above inflation increase of seven per cent minimum on all pay points
-
an increase of seven per cent on standby allowance and overnight away from home allowance
-
a minimum pay rate of £15 per hour
-
an increase in the minimum annual leave on appointment from 24 to 25 days and from 29 to 30 days after five years’ service
-
parity of funding for pay reform between police officers and police staff as part of the next comprehensive spending review settlement.
The Trade Union Side has submitted its full written claim which the constituent parts of the Employers’ Side (National Police Chiefs Council, Association of Police and Crime Commissioners and the Home Office) will begin to consult on. We intend to respond to the Trade Union Side with a view to reaching an agreement in time for the settlement date of 1 September 2025.
We will update you further on developments.
Yours sincerely
David Algie
Employers’ Side Secretariat
