BT Pay Consultative Ballot Result

Detailed below is the outcome of the ballot on the proposed pay agreement as follows:

• Accepting the pay offer:​​ 74% of valid votes
• Rejecting the pay offer:​​ 26% of valid votes

Of the ballot papers dispatched, 61% were returned.

As a result of the above, confirmation has been given to BT to accept the proposed pay agreement and they will now take steps to implement this in September pay.

Below is a reminder of the agreement reached:

➢ A 2.5% pay increase that is fully consolidated and pensionable from the 1 September.

➢ A further 4% pay increase that is fully consolidated and pensionable from the 1 April 2024.

➢ As it is consolidated, it increases your hourly rate of pay which flows through to pay related payments such as overtime and bank holiday premiums.

➢ The next pay review date will be 1st April 2025.

All of this means that between April 2022 to April 2024 all team members will have received between circa 14%-23% pay rise, something that would not have been possible without the tremendous action members took last year.

Thanks to all of you who have participated in your pay ballot.

Yours sincerely

Andy Kerr​​​​​​​
Deputy General Secretary
