TRADE UNIONS SUBMIT 2025 PAY CLAIM
The three unions which make up the trade union side of the Police Staff Council have submitted the following pay claim for our police staff members for 2025:
One-year claim
A restorative above inflation increase of 7% minimum on all pay points
An increase of 7% on standby allowance and overnight away from home allowance
A minimum pay rate of £15 per hour
An increase in the minimum annual leave on appointment from 24 to 25 days and from 29 to 30 days after 5 years’ service
Parity of funding for pay reform between police officers and police staff as part of the next comprehensive spending review settlement
The unions expect any pay settlement to be fully funded by central government to compensate forces for the cost of the award above 2%, which is an average of what forces have budgeted for pay this year.
The table at the end of this bulletin shows the impact of our claim on the current Police Staff Council pay points.
Please note Staffordshire Police has different numbers on their pay points, but the values are the same.
TIMETABLE FOR PAY TALKS
The trade unions’ claim was submitted verbally at a meeting of the Police Staff Council on 24 April. The Employers (NPCC, APCC and Home Office) will now consult forces and PCCs/Mayors on the claim with a view to pay talks beginning in July when the details of the police officer pay review body award for this year will be known. This is an important comparator award for both unions and employers.
