Millions of nurses, teachers and members of the armed forces will receive a pay rise next April as Rishi Sunak unfreezes public sector pay in the budget
The chancellor says his temporary pay pause in November helped protect jobs at a time of crisis during the pandemic, but also ensured the gap between public and private sector pay did not widen further.received a 3% pay rise in 2021/22Mr Sunak signalled that pay rises for public sector staff were on the way in a Sunday TV interview when he said he would set out a"new pay policy" in his budget on Wednesday.
Rachel Harrison, GMB national officer, said lifting the freeze"must be accompanied by real action - otherwise this will be nothing more than empty gesture politics". Christina McAnea, Unison general secretary, said the freeze would persist"in all but name" unless government departments were given more money by the chancellor to fund salary increases.
Young people and apprentices will also see their wages boosted as the national minimum wage for people aged 21-22 goes up to £9.18 an hour and the apprentice rate increases to £4.81 an hour.
