When will the Welsh Government publish its guidance to public bodies (the Pay Remit) to reflect the pay award agreed with the Civil Service unions?
Answered by Minister for Finance and Trefnydd | Answered on 22/01/2019
Discussions with all trade union partners around agreeing a pay award for the Welsh Government’s civil service in 2019-20 is still ongoing. The 2017 pay remit guidance issued to Welsh Government sponsored bodies covered awards made in 2017-18 and 2018-19. The 2019 pay remit guidance will be issued in due course. The budget for 2019-20 which sets out the Welsh Government’s spending plans for the public sector in Wales was approved by the National Assembly on 15 January.
