UNISON police staff members in England and Wales have voted by a very large majority to accept the employers 4.75% pay offer for 2024. The ballot closed at 5pm on 2 October, and on a turnout of 48%:

  • 95% voted to accept the pay offer
  • 5% voted to reject the pay offer

As members of the other police staff trade unions also voted in favour, the trade unions informed the employers today that the offer was accepted.

The pay award will see all pay points increase by 4.75%, plus a 4.75% increase in standby allowance from £34.49 to £36.13.

More details of the pay award, including the new pay scale, will be published next week. It is hoped that forces will be able to implement the pay rise as soon as possible.

UNISON thanks all the members who voted. Anyone with questions on the pay award can raise these with their local UNISON branch.
