When will the 2022/23 pay award be announced?
The AFPRB won’t report until May 2022 and the MOD may not make its decision immediately, meaning any pay award will likely be backdated to the start of the 2022 financial year. For 2021/22 the AFPRB submitted its report on 21 July and the award
was not announced until October 2021.
The AFPRB said it is disappointed by repeated delays to the pay round, meaning pay rises were not implemented on 1 April and were instead bckdated. In its latest report, for 2021, the Body criticised the “
significant” delays in receiving evidence from the MOD for the 2021/22 pay award.
This paper will be updated to reflect the pay award for 2022/23, when it has been made.
