Guess which one of those groups cant strike.

Or get paid overtime / shift allowances etc

So what exactly does this £1000 consolidated mean? Is it taxed and NI'd? How does it affect future pay/pension?

 

[Oldstacker]

Those currently serving and getting the 5% should look at how it will be paid for and ask who will be covering the gapped civilian posts and what the impact of those gaps may be on the support to the front line...

It isn't gonna be nice folks...

Works out at 7.1% for me, not bad considering.

Yes it is taxed and I'm pretty sure its NI'd too. I'll pop back around 31 July and let you know when I receive my consolidated payment in my payslip.

My RAF pension went up 10.1% this year and looks like it will go up around 7-8% next year. At this rate, my pension will be more than a regular earns!

Curious to see that Engineering Trade Pay isn't anywhere to be seen in the report .

I wonder if they have just forgotten that engineers are hemorrhaging to better paid jobs on the outside ...

This is actually really clever. Doing the 5% +£1k is more beneficial to those of lower pay, meaning a top grade air commodore gets 5.8% (close to the average across public sector) but a bottom level AS1 gets like 10% (above inflation).

It's also very clever because it sneaks in a much higher rise than other sectors are getting, without making a bad headline - I think my rise is about 7%

New calculator release on 01 Aug - more pleasing news for us potential men of leisure I am assured.

There is a YouTube channel called The Savvy Squaddie, all be it its heavy Army orientated but does cover things like pensions and the pay rise quite good.

 

[bigjd]

I'm actually quite happy with the pay award at the level I'm at. It works out at around 10% with the extra £1000.

I took a massive pay cut joining the RAF and I graduate phase 2 next week, so I'm looking at a pretty hefty pay rise now.

Maybe 5% for everyone serving. Head boy Tony Radakin seems to have done OK with his own increases.

Chief of the Defence Staff's huge £1.1m package from taxpayers

The scale of the boost for Admiral Sir Tony Radakin after he took on the military's top job in November 2021 has been laid out in the latest MoD accounts.
