Public Services Commission Pay

The ballot papers in relation to the PSC pay offer for 2018/21 were counted, in the presence of Unite, Prospect and PSC representatives, at MIRS on Friday 7 December 2018. In total, 1302 valid ballot papers were returned (980 Prospect and 322 Unite). 

There were 1259 votes in favour of the Commission’s offer and 43 votes against and therefore the Commission is pleased to confirm the following enhancements to basic pay. 

2018/19

For all employees in post on or after 1 April 2018 pay will increase by a consolidated rate of 55p per hour which will be consolidated. 

Where local agreements and allowances refer to ‘payments being increased at the same percentage rate as the annual pay award’, this amount will be 3%

2019/20 

A 2.5% consolidated increase for all employees in post on 1 April 2019. 

Where local agreements and allowances refer to ‘payments being increased at the same percentage rate as the annual pay award’, this amount will be 2.5%. 

2020/21 

A 2.75% consolidated increase for all employees in post on 1 April 2020 unless Isle of Man CPI published in March 2020 is over 0.5% higher or over 0.5% lower than the 2.75% increase. In this case the offer of 2.75% for Year 3 becomes void and parties agree to commence new negotiations for Year 3. 

Where local agreements and allowances refer to ‘payments being increased at the same percentage rate as the annual pay award’, this amount will be 2.75%

The award will apply to the rates of pay for all PSC Civil Service and Manual and Craft employees including those employed under New Terms for New Starters and Promotions (NTNSP) and staff on analogous terms and conditions. It includes all pay ranges, points on the pay spine, the JESP pay ranges and Manual and Craft weekly wage rates.

The new rates of pay will be paid from 1 January 2019, whilst arrears of pay will be paid in February 2019 salaries. 

Employees that have left employment on or before 1 January 2019 will receive retrospective payment of arrears as soon as practical.
