Metropolitan Police support staff: 3% rise

Key details

  • Pay award: 3% on all points on the pay spine over 12 months

  • Employees covered (nos.): support staff (13,000)

  • Effective date: 1 August 2003

    The 2003 Metropolitan Police pay award, covering both industrial and non-industrial support staff, gives all staff a 3% minimum increase from 1 August 2003 for 12 months.

    The agreement included the re-alignment of lower-grade pay bands, which means that employees in these grades receive an additional 1% rise, and the number of steps in the lower pay bands has been reduced (from February 2004) in order to shorten progression times.
