The change of pay conditions will happen on 1 st April. The same as it did last year and the same as it will next year.
The chances are that our pay will increase by a limited margin as we all know having read the galaxy notices. If the government announce the pay change tomorrow it won't make any difference. The government are busy working out the budget which will be announced in March. Public sector pay will be frozen at 1%.
We will know which Government will form by 3rd June 2010 at the latest.
