Essex County Council

Most UNISON members in Essex County Council are subject to the National Agreement on Pay and Conditions of Service, the 'Green book.' You are entitled to ask management to see this though we suspect that very few ECC establishments have copies easily available.

Other conditions, including those like car allowances, where the County has departed from the Green book, are detailed on the Intranet under Working Here.

Performance Pay

The Branch is continuing to campaign against ECC proposals to bring in performance related pay for staff on Bands 5 & 6 and remove them from national pay bargaining. Branch negotiators are waiting to talk to new head of HR Keir Lynch about this issue. At its meeting in May the Branch Committee agreed to ask all those affected to sign a pledge not to agree to perfomance pay. Branch members (and other ECC employees affected who agree) are urged to send a note to Branch Office (email will do) reading :

I support Unison's opposition to the current ECC proposals regarding Performance Related Pay. I do not wish to opt out of the annual collective pay award negotiated nationally by the Union with the employers. I have not opted into the scheme and pledge not to do so unless there is a collective agreement by Unison members concerned to opt into the scheme.’
