PART 1 – PUBLIC DOCUMENT AGENDA ITEM No. 8Single Status Agreement • January 9th, 2018
Contract Type FiledJanuary 9th, 2018The single status agreement of 1st April 1997 saw the launch of the green book, the national pay and conditions for 1.4 million local authority employees. The key objective of this was to achieve single status employment, aimed at harmonised terms and conditions and better pay equality. A specific part of this was that every local authority had to carry out a local pay review to decide whether or not to operate a system of pay scales as opposed to single pay points. The agreement required these pay reviews to be completed and implemented by all Local authorities by 31 March 2007. North Herts District Council completed its pay review in 2004 introducing the Hay job evaluation scheme and pay scales, as apposed to the NJC national pay scales.
