Dear RMT Member, 

 

Rates of Pay and Conditions of Service 2024 – Stagecoach South Andover (Drivers)

 

Following member’s rejection of the previous pay offer, further negotiation have taken place with the company to seek an improved offer. The company’s full and final offer is as follows:

 

Job Title	Current Rate (£)	Proposed Rate 19thMay 2024	Proposed Rate 30thJune 2024
Over 24 months Driver (Contract A)	£13.00	£13.65	£14.00
0-6 months Driver (Contract B)	£11.85	£12.50	£12.85
6-12 months Driver (Contract B)	£12.54	£13.19	£13.54
12-24 months Driver (Contract B)	£13.52	£14.17	£14.52
Over 24 months Driver (Contract B)	£13.70	£14.35	£14.70
Leading Driver > 2 Years (Contract A)	£13.72	£14.37	£14.72
Leading Driver > 2 Years (Contract B)	£14.63	£15.28	£15.63

 

In addition, the following enhancements would apply from 30^th June 2024:

 

• All hours worked on a Sunday would attract a further enhancement of 50p, therefore totally a £1 per hour enhancement on a Sunday

 

Finally, the banding for Contract B would reduce, so that “12-24 months Driver (Contract B)” would become “12-18 months Driver (Contract B)” and “over 24 months Driver (Contract B)” would become “over 18 months Driver (Contract B)”

 

The next pay anniversary date would be Sunday 26^th January 2025.

 

The National Executive Committee has considered a report received from your Lead Officer and has instructed me to conduct an e-referendum of you and your colleagues with a recommendation to vote ‘YES’ to accept the offer.

 

The on-line referendum will close on at 10am on Tuesday 28^th May 2024.
