COSLA has released a new factsheet explaining our latest pay offer for the Scottish Joint Council (SJC) workforce.
On the 12th of June, COSLA formally wrote to the Scottish Joint Council (SJC) Trade Unions with a much-improved, two-year pay offer for Local Government employees. Members of the three Trade Unions are now being consulted on the offer.
The offer is for a 4% increase in pay this year (2025/26) and a 3.5% increase next year (2026/27). If agreed, workers will receive in total a 7.64% rise in their pay by April 2026. You can read our full statement about the offer here.
Our new Your Pay Made Clear factsheet provides key information about the pay offer, including clear examples which show what the increase will look like for people at different salaries.
