Nothing confirmed yet as far as I'm aware, my point was more to do with the numerous differences between the services which could be considered divisive, a few extra days leave because you're in the RAF isn't going to cause a riot.
Thread Starter
Yes, it is indeed. Just saw the JFC Christmas leave policy today - 3 weeks all round to ensure you get a good break (less PJHQ who are on 2 weeks), but no extra leave is to be awarded as JFC personnel are already carrying leave over so don’t need any more. Plus it would be divisive apparently.
I assume Civil Servants in JFC will therefore not be getting privilege days this year? And juniors won’t be getting REN leave? After all, no need for it is there and it’s all one team. And you know I think the General has hit on a savings measure there too; unless you spend all your salary each year you don’t need your annual rise as promulgated by the AFPRB. All crazy suggestions, all following the same logic as the JFC decision.

Before last years 2%+0.9% weren't we told 6.5% over 3 years......?
But remember the starting point for this year is 2017+2%, so if we get 1.5%, we've already had 0.9 as a bonus, so that equates to 2017+2%+0.6%, so next years start isn't even up to 2018 as a starting point
More likely to be 2%, so 2018+1.1% (more than an austerity 1%, but only just!). They'll postpone the remaining 2.5% as long as possible, so 2020, but then try and claim the bonuses were already included!!!

Not a bad guess LJ and interestingly, not a peep heard from the AFPRB so far this year? But the good Boris has promised a huge rise for the public sector, so let's hope it's wrapped up before October.

We had the AFPRB here last week and the rest of the independent pay review bodies are still giving their reports to the government so our 'pay rise' can't be announced until they're all in and considered. Again it kind of makes a mockery of the system, how can one report be considered in isolation when the government is now insisting on having all the reports in before announcements are made?

According to the times - 2.9% pay rise.

I wonder if there is a ‘bonus’ to go on top?
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/p...rces-rllv0lmtg
Police officers will receive a 2.5 per cent pay rise across the board, soldiers 2.9 per cent and teachers and other school staff 2.75 per cent. Dentists and consultants will get 2.5 per cent and senior civil servants 2 per cent.

From the Times article...
Penny Mordaunt, the defence secretary, has secured a 2.5 per cent rise for all members of the armed forces. The salary for the lowest-paid privates will go up from £19,025 to £20,000. She has made clear that pay increases for soldiers and other forces personnel are the “right priority” given their “vital importance” and “hard work and self-sacrifice” in protecting Britain.
“It is the highest nominal pay increase since the coalition. But these increases are still slower than pay rises that are happening on average in the private sector. With the partial exception of schools, there seems to be no new money to fund these pay rises, meaning savings will have to be made elsewhere.”
Ecce Homo! Loquitur...
POLITICO:
There are a whopping 30 written ministerial statements on the order paper today, which is even more than the 27 last Thursday. Goodness knows how high the figure will get by the end of this week. A handful of today’s announcements cover the public sector pay rises leaked to the Times last week, but there are potentially interesting updates too on housing, local government, energy, teachers, prisons, the RAF, “electoral integrity,” support for families and more.

The figures in this years report for 2018 are 0.9% lower than was published & "recommended" last year, so we only actually get 2% above last year, the extra 0.9% - we've already had!!!!!
(See what I said above #29, at least better than my predicted 1.5%!!)
I'm leaving at the end of Aug, so at least now I get an additional small paypacket at the end of Sept , when I get my backdated pay!!!
So yet again we are below:
Police 2.5%
Teachers 2.75%
Medics 2.5%
(Unless they too have smoke & mirrors in effect)

Like many here, I only care about my Pension. But glad to see some recognition for the hard-working folks who are still flogging their butts off. I'll let others do the current number-crunching, having read the previous post!
