No. 118/21
Date 24th March 2021
Dear Colleagues,
RM Property & Facilities Solutions Limited (PFSL) & CWU Joint Statement – Cleaners Pay
Further to the 2019 joint agreement between PFSL and the CWU regarding pay for CWU represented grades in RM Property & Facilities Solutions Limited (PFSL), we are now pleased to confirm the arrangements for payment of the remaining elements of the pay agreement and to provide advice of the pay increases due from 1st April 2021. Please see the following for a further breakdown:
Implementation from 1st April 2021 to be paid in April 2021 Salaries
Cleaners
- A 3.2% consolidated base salary increase effective from 1st April 2021, flowing through to pensionable cash allowances.
- Those Static and Multi site cleaners on starter rates, will not receive the 3.2% increase, however they will receive the government National Living Wage increase from 1st April 2021.
- As part of the Agreement there is a joint commitment to move cleaners to the Living Wage Foundation (LWF) pay rate. To support this, we are jointly tracking progress towards this commitment. The intention is to move cleaners to the LWF rate in 2022 (if this has not been achieved during the 3-year period of the pay agreement). Further joint review meetings will take place in advance of April 2022 in order to ensure that the above commitment is met.
As Branches will appreciate the Joint Statement and the pay agreement is a positive achievement and we are committed to continue to ensure that our cleaning members pay, terms and conditions are improved in line with the Unions policies.
