    Proposed Collective Agreement

    4 DEFINITIONS & EFFECTIVE DATE4.1 The Effective Date is the date to which certain elements of the Agreement are

    backdated. The Effective Date of the Agreement is 1 April 2010. The Effective Dateis applied to all grading changes as a result of single status and changes to basicpay only, except where specified elsewhere.

    4.2 The Implementation Date (TBC by full Council), is the date the changes withinthe agreement will be undertaken. The Implementation Date will be used for allother changes to terms and conditions of employment (including allowances andenhancements whether based on basic pay or not).

    This ensures no employees will receive a backdated reduction in allowancesand enhancements which have already been paid in accordance witharrangements in place prior to this Agreement.

    Where an employee receives a change in basic pay backdated to the EffectiveDate, this will not be applied to the allowances and enhancements alreadyreceived during that period up until the Implementation Date.

    4.3 The Agreement Date is the date the Agreement is signed by the parties.

    5 PAY & GRADING5.1 Job Evaluation5.1.1 All jobs relating to employees under the remit of this Agreement should be

    evaluated under the Greater London Provincial Council (GLPC) Job Evaluation

    Scheme.

    All manual jobs and craftworkers jobs, a sample of APT&C jobs and all schoolsbased jobs have been job evaluated using the GLPC scheme.

    5.1.2 All jobs evaluated under the scheme will move to the respective grade (see section5.2) and to the appropriate spinal column point (SCP) (in accordance with theassimilation or protection arrangements see section 5.3 and 5.4).

    5.1.3 It is agreed that the Effective Date of 1 April 2010 will be the point of change tograde for all former manual jobs; all schools non-teaching support staff; all APT&C

    jobs up to and including Scale 5; and all posts within the scope of this review on

    grades outside the APT&C structure, such as those that have not previously beenevaluated under the Greater London Whitley Council (GLWC) scheme (e.g. socialwork and residential staff) and those staff who are currently receiving protection.

    5.1.4 As other jobs above Scale 5 have been previously evaluated under the GLWC jobevaluation scheme> The ranking and grade of these jobs is not expected tochange significantly with the change of job evaluation scheme. All remaining jobsabove Scale 5 will be evaluated under the GLPC scheme as required in the normalcourse of events and by no later than December 2015. The effective date of anychange in grade arising from the job evaluation of such jobs will be in line with thedate that the evaluation of the role is confirmed.

    5.1.5 A Grading Review Procedure for employees to request a review of their jobevaluation outcome is given in Annex 1.

    4/14

    Proposed Collective Agreement

    5.2 Pay & Grading Structure5.2.1 A new pay and grading structure is introduced (see Annex 2). This replaces the

    current APT&C grading structure and the spot salary arrangements for formermanual worker grades, along with all other existing grading arrangements such asthose applying to residential staff and day nursery employees.

    5.2.2 The changes to the APT&C grade structure are: the current scale 1, which covers spinal column point (SCP) 4 to 11, is split into

    3 grades LBR 1a (SCP4 to SCP5); LBR 1b (SCP6 to SCP7); and LBR 1c (SCP8 toSCP10).

    spinal column point 33 is removed from the current grade PO1 (LBR 9) andspinal column point 35 is removed from the current grade PO2 (LBR10) toreduce overlap between grades SO2 (LBR 8) to PO2 (LBR10).

    5.2.3 This replaces the transitional arrangements in Part 3 Appendix 1 of the Green Book(Purple Book paragraphs 25, 26, 27, 28 + yellow pages for day nurseries and

    Manual Handbook section 2 (A), (B), (C), (D)).

    5.2.4 The existing APT&C grade names are replaced with a local grade naming system.Annex 2 details the current APT&C grading structure and the proposed gradingstructure.

    5.2.5 Following extensive pay modelling and affordability analysis of the overallpackage, a job evaluation points to grading relationship has been agreed. Thedetail of the grade breaks is contained within Annex 2.

    5.3 Assimilation Arrangements5.3.1 For employees whose job has been evaluated and where the evaluated grade is

    different from their current grade, it is proposed that they are placed on thebottom SCP of their job evaluated grade with the exception of employees

    who are not on the current APT&C pay and grading structure and where beingput on the bottom SCP of the new grade would cause a detriment in basic pay,in which case they will be placed on the SCP within their new grade that is theclosest scale point equal to or above their current basic pay; or

    who are on the current APT&C pay and grading structure, but whose newgrade is lower as a result of job evaluation in which case they will be placed onthe top SCP of their new grade (this includes employees who are currently onprotection); or

    who are on the current APT&C pay and grading structure whose new grade ishigher as a result of job evaluation, but due to grade overlap are already on the

    bottom SCP of their new grade, in which case they will be placed on the nextSCP; or

    who are currently subject to protection arrangements and whose job isevaluated at a grade where the basic pay includes an SCP that is greater thantheir current protected basic pay in which case they will be placed on the SCPwithin their new grade that is the closest scale point equal to or above theircurrent basic pay

    5.3.2 Any employee whose new basic pay is less upon assimilation will be entitled toprotection arrangements as detailed in the salary protection section.

    Proposed Collective Agreement

    5.4 Salary Protection Arrangements5.4.1 Pay protection arrangements will be applied for employees whose basic pay

    decreases as a result of a re-grade as detailed in the Councils Reorganisation,Redeployment and Redundancy Policy (3Rs), or any subsequent future policy.

    5.4.2 For the purposes of the implementation of Single Status, the provision in the 3Rspolicy will be applied from the Implementation Date, rather than the Effective Dateof the change. All employees receiving basic pay protection will therefore havealready additionally received protection on pay from the Effective Date until theImplementation Date.

    5.4.3 Where employees are already in receipt of other pay protection arrangements, it isproposed that these arrangements are terminated and replaced in accordancewith 5.4.1 and 5.4.2.

    5.5 Incremental progression5.5.1 Incremental progression will be to the next spinal column point within a grade

    until the maximum of the scale is reached, subject to the following:

    Incremental progression will normally take place on 1 April each year thoughemployees with less than six months service in grade by 1 April will beconsidered for incremental progression six months after their appointment,promotion or re-grading, subject to the employee having satisfactorily passeda probationary period.

    An increment will only be agreed where the employees performance isassessed as satisfactory or better through the appropriate performance reviewand this has been confirmed by the manager.

    The Councils Performance Management Scheme will be reviewed in duecourse and updated to reflect these changes and ensure a fair and transparentprocess.

    Where a performance review cannot be undertaken, through no fault of theemployee, then incremental progression to the next spinal column point willnot normally be withheld.

    5.6 Career Progression Grades5.6.1 The Council will continue to utilise career progression grades and/or job families.

    Where these are used, each level of career grade or job family will need to haveclearly defined duties and responsibilities and to have been evaluated at that level.Progression criteria to the next grade will be clear and transparent and will bestrictly subject to criteria being met and suitable work being available at that level.

    5.6.2 The Council also commits to ensure that all career grade progression schemes arereviewed and to ensure they are not restricted to particular groups by 2013.Guidance on career grades will be provided in due course.

    6/14

    Proposed Collective Agreement

    5.7 Market Factors5.7.1 All jobs will be subject to job evaluation so equal pay is given for jobs rated as

    equivalent. However, there may be occasions when it is difficult to recruit and/orretain employees at the pay level of a job-evaluated grade, due to market factorsoutside the control of the Council.

    5.7.2 In such cases, the Councils Market Factors Supplement policy will apply. MarketFactor Supplements will only be payable where necessary conditions aredemonstrated. The principles will be outlined in the Market Factors Supplementpolicy, which will detail the responsibility and process involved (Note: these will bebased on the principles contained in the Single Status Discussion Document July2010).

    5.7.3 As part of the introduction of Single Status and the pay and grading review, it isproposed that all existing market supplements will be reviewed, as is currentpractice.

    5.7.4 In future additional incremental points will no longer be offered as a marketsupplement, nor will market supplements automatically be increased in line withpay awards.

    6 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT 1As part of Single Status the Council proposes to standardise a range of the Termsand Conditions of employment.

    6.1 Standardising Contractual Hours & Contractual Weeks6.1.1 The standard working week for employees will be 36 hours and the standard

    working year will be 52.14 weeks.

    6.1.2 Arrangements for schools based employees and those who work term time onlywill be calculated in accordance with Annex 3.

    6.1.3 Nursery Nurses: Part 3, Appendix 2, Section 2 of the Green Book will no longerapply. The harmonisation of the standard working week and the standard workingyear includes nursery employees. This Agreement replaces Part 3 Appendix 2section 2 of the Green Book.

    The protected conditions of service relating to the Ancillary Review and 1999Agreements will cease

    The full-time working week for all employees will be deemed to be 36 hours,with staff working less than 36 hours having their hours expressed as part-timeand as a proportion of 36 hours.

    A nursery nurse will no longer be regarded as being full time if they work 32.5hours a week for 195 days a year.

    6.1.4 In order to mitigate the impact on employees of these changes the following willapply as appropriate:

    Employees affected by this change should be offered additional hours (up to amaximum of 36 hours) in order to maintain their full time equivalent (FTE)hours, and therefore their overall rate of pay.

    Where an employee chooses not to accept these additional hours and remainson existing hours, their salary will be adjusted to the pro-rata equivalent.

    Proposed Collective Agreement

    6.2 Standardising Annual Leave6.2.1 The full details of the Councils leave entitlement will be detailed in the Councils

    leave guidelines. The following summarises the changes:

    The basic leave entitlement will be 22 days for all staff. In addition there will beone day (statutory) allocated by the Council.

    After 5 years qualifying service the basic leave entitlement leave will increaseto 27 days a year, plus the additional day. The effect of this change is toincrease the long service entitlement for ex-manual workers by two days.

    The effective date for additional leave entitlement for ex manual workers(including those employees with 5 years qualifying service) will be the leaveyear in which Single Status is implemented.

    Arrangements for school-based employees and those who work term timeonly will be calculated in accordance with Annex 4. This means that Part 3Appendix 2 section 1 (a) and 1 (b) of the Green Book will no longer apply.

    6.3 Standardising Notice Periods6.3.1 The minimum notice period for employees not serving a probationary period willbe one month either way. Longer periods of notice may be required where

    statutory or contractual provisions provide so.

    6.4 Standardising Pay Periods6.4.1 Historically the Council has run both weekly and monthly pay periods. It is agreed

    that for all employees the pay period will be standardised on a monthly basis,payable via BACS.

    6.4.2 The switch to monthly pay for existing weekly paid employees will be timedappropriately in order to minimise any potential hardship. Where possible this willbe linked to the periods in which the employee receives back pay and/or

    allowance cushion payments, where eligible.6.4.3 The Council acknowledges the need to ensure appropriate measures are available

    to assist employees in cases of exceptional hardship. The Council will aim toprovide and signpost this group of workers to the provision of targeted advice andsupport. The Council already utilises advances in pay where there are exceptionalfinancial circumstances.
