Local government employers in Scotland have made a new pay offer in an effort to resolve the ongoing pay dispute.

The Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA) has offered a 3.2% pay uplift at all pay points, for a one-year period of 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025.

COSLA’s Resources Spokesperson, Cllr Katie Hagmann, said: ‘Following ongoing and constructive engagement with our Scottish Joint Council (SJC) Trade Unions, COSLA has today (18th July) written formally to the Trade Unions with a revised pay offer for the SJC Local Government workforce.’

She added: ‘This strong offer is worth more than the first year of the Scottish Government’s current Public Sector Pay Policy. It is a strong, fair and credible pay offer, reflecting the high value council Leaders place on the Local Government workforce and the invaluable work they do every day serving communities across Scotland.’

COSLA’s previous offer was a 2.2% pay increase from 1 April 2024 with a further 2% increase from 1 October 2024.
