Senior officers have formally rejected the ‘full and final’ pay offer tabled by employers.

The Association of Local Authority Chief Executives (ALACE) said in a letter the offer of a 3.5% increase for 2023-24 was ‘unacceptable’ and is pressing for parity with other council staff, which would equate to a 3.9% rise.

ALACE honorary secretary Ian Miller said describing the offer as ‘full and final’ was ‘unhelpful language’ and is seeking a formal meeting for further negotiations.

He added the offer ‘risks antagonising the most senior officers in local government’.
