Teachers in Jersey have been given a new pay offer from The States to end the dispute with the two teaching unions, NASUWT and NEU.

The proposed agreement provides for the following:

  • 2018: 2% consolidated increase plus 1.1% non-consolidated cash payment

  • 2019: 2% consolidated increase plus 1.0% non-consolidated cash payment

  • 2020: RPI + 1.3% consolidated increase, plus an additional 0.8% funded through reforms and sustainable efficiencies.

Over the three years (based on an assumed RPI of 3.1%) this represents a consolidated increase worth 9.4%, plus 2.1% of non-consolidated cash payments.

NEU members will meet this evening to consider the new offer.

It comes after eight days of strike action last month over the pay dispute with Jersey's States Employment board.

The latest pay offer last week received further backlash, with the NEU calling the offer "disappointing".
