RESOLVED that: 
The Employment
Committee:  agrees to apply the national
local government pay award (NJC for LGS) to NNC staff on TUPE
protected local terms and conditions.
 
Reasons for Recommendations
 
Following local government reorganization, employees were
transferred under TUPE from predecessor authorities to North
Northamptonshire Council on the pay, terms and conditions
applicable to them on 31 March 2021. 
Whilst the majority of the workforce (employees on NNC interim
terms plus those who TUPE transferred from the District and
Boroughs) are on nationally agreed pay, terms and conditions, 23%
full time equivalent employees are subject to local terms and
conditions and do not therefore automatically receive a pay
award.
 
The pay award supports the Council’s aim to attract
and retain staff, reorganizing their ongoing hard work and
contribution in the deliver of council
services.
 
The decision supports the Council’s corporate aim to
be an employer of choice and a ‘one team’
approach.
 
Alternative Options Considered
 
The Council could only pay employees who are contractually
entitled to the pay uplift, however, the impact on morale across
the organization the Council’s ability to recruit and retain
talent, would likely be hampered by this decision.  This decision would not be aligned to the
Corporate Plan, which was agreed by full Council
