PM Rishi Sunak says the offer to workers was final and that there would be 'no more talks on pay'.
Rising prices have prompted industrial action across much of the public sector, with workers calling for pay rises matching or exceeding the rate of inflation which currently stands at 8.7%.
TUC general secretary Paul Nowak said union members would take "comfort" from the fact that the prime minister had accepted the pay review bodies' recommendations. Pay increases for teachers and the police will come in from September this year, while rises for others - including doctors, dentists and police - will be backdated to April.
Speaking at the Unite union's policy conference in Brighton, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said the pay offers would be "subject to negotiation" and he would "not wade into that".
