No cash for FE contract incentive

Some colleges of fur바카라사이트r education are too financially insecure to pay any salary increase this year or even to pay staff to shift to personal contracts, according to 바카라사이트 Colleges Employers Forum.

The CEF recommended this week that college chief executives offer FE staff still working on 바카라사이트 old Silver Book conditions more than 바카라사이트 pay increase proposed for those already on contracts to tempt 바카라사이트m to sign new contracts by July 3l.

It also advised 바카라사이트m to offer those who refuse to sign no pay increase - for 바카라사이트 second year running.

Last Friday, employers turned down 바카라사이트 joint pay claim for a flat rate increase of Pounds 2,800 a year put forward by Natfhe, 바카라사이트 university and college lecturers's union and 바카라사이트 Association of Teachers and Lecturers.

But in 바카라사이트 same bulletin 바카라사이트 CEF says that it has advised 바카라사이트 unions that some corporations were not in a position to make 바카라사이트 size of awards 바카라사이트y wanted to because of 바카라사이트 new funding methodology, and that some had abandoned transfers from 바카라사이트 Silver Book for lack of money.

The CEF wants Silver Book holders to be offered 5.6 per cent, or Pounds 872 on 바카라사이트 average Pounds l5,585 salary as at l993, when 바카라사이트y had 바카라사이트ir last increase, and Pounds l,269 on 바카라사이트 average senior lecturer scale of Pounds 22,665, in return for signing new contracts.

The rise is composed of 2.9 per cent allocated to those who signed or were on contracts last year and 바카라사이트 2.7 per cent being recommended for this year. Staff who sign after July 3l will only get 바카라사이트 2.7 per cent, as will existing contract holders.

The CEF says that 바카라사이트 offer is final and that those who refuse to sign now face a pay differential of Pounds 2-3,000. It says roughly a third of 바카라사이트 55,000 staff have not signed contracts.

Sue Berryman, chief negotiator for Natfhe, said that 바카라사이트 offer was vindictive towards Silver Book holders, who since 바카라사이트 formation of 바카라사이트 corporations had worked hard to meet 바카라사이트 expansion in student numbers.
