BT Pay 2007: Final Offer - Recommended for Acceptance

11 April 2007

BT has tabled a final offer comprising a 4.7% increase in base pay and pay related allowances with effect from 1 April 2007 and RPI (inflation) + 0.5% on base pay and pay related allowances with effect from 1 April 2008. The 2008 increase will be based on the March RPI published in April.

London Weighting will also increase with effect from 1 April 2007 and 1 April 2008 by 75% of the increases quoted.

The CWU Telecoms Executive has met and considered the offer from BT and has agreed to recommend it to members for acceptance in a consultative ballot.

The Executive has agreed to recommend it because:

• Both years increases represent a significant increase in your pay,
• The two year aspect gives you security in knowing that your pay is settled and will be 0.5% above inflation next year, and
• There is no element of individual performance related pay or unconsolidated payment in the offer for either year.

Arrangements are being put in place to hold the consultative ballot and should the offer be accepted we expect it to be paid in May salaries.
