What happens when the letter arrives…. • Some people may behave in completely unpredictable ways.However – we need to be prepared for the moment.
The points you need to make. • Do • Be there; clear your diary and make yourself seen • Be compassionate, human, strong and supportive • Ensure your employees understand the letter, and knows what they can do now • Reiterate and reiterate the fact that there’s a helpline, conciliation events, pay protection and an appeals process
Remember. • Accept the fact that it’s not going to be 100% right for 100% of employees. Names, addresses, contact details may not have been right. But genuine mistakes will be resolved. • No-one is immune. The outcome will directly or indirectly affect everyone. Everyone needs to be sensitive to others. It will be tough for everyone • Remain professional
What else you need to know • NJC spine will be used • Grade boundaries may be different • Grades with incremental progression
Know we won’t get 100% right • No blame culture • Council requirement – no choice • Encouraging a sense of reality Professional behaviour • Helping people to move on
Some allowances will end • Where included as part of evaluation (supervisory plussages) • Bonus • Other (car option) • Some allowances continuing: • First Aid • Sleep-ins • Looking at a local agreement to amend non-contractual overtime rates
