Not 5%. The offer is actually for 4.65% made up with 1% for 2015 (yes, that is the previous year!), 1.25% for 2016 and 2.4% for 2017. Such increases will apply only to basic pay. Overtime pay remains static.
When you consider most of the people affected are earning between £7.00 and £8.00 per hour they could be making a whopping £14.00 per week extra. Looking at the 2015 figures, most employees will get an additional £3.00 per week in their pay packets. But why has the company still not settled what to pay their employees for work done 2 years ago!
Incredible greed indeed! NOT!
