Noting the result, the National Executive Committee has instructed me to inform the company of our acceptance of the offer. This instruction has been carried out and I have requested that the increase and any back monies are paid at the earliest opportunity. For ease of reference, the accepted pay offer is as follows:

 

• All members in the bargaining units were uplifted to a minimum of the UK Real Living Wage (RLW) on 1^st June 2024 plus pay differentials were maintained between roles.
• OCS have previously agreed to settle the historic backpay dispute relating to the UK RLW.
• OCS introduced a new payment for CET/Tanking duties of £6.25 per shift with effect from 1^st June 2024
• OCS have offered to increase the Team Leader role rate of pay at Polmadie to £13.00 per hour backdated to 1^st April 2024.
• The company has proposed the introduction of a Fatality Cleaning Payment in line with other OCS teams for client approval for TPE. The company are still waiting for sign off at this point.
• OCS have offered to review the Supervisor and Team Leader job roles specification, but a change proposal is not guaranteed.
• Paid time off on full hourly rate of pay for a period of up to 2 weeks for an accident at work reported as RIDDOR not covered by a personal injury claim. Supporting documentation must be provided upon request to approve payment.

 

Yours sincerely
