Coillte pay deal backed
by Bernard Harbor
 |
IMPACT members in Coillte have accepted a new four-year pay and performance deal by a margin of two to one. The agreement, which covers pay, performance management and dispute resolution, is structured to enhance payments to workers in lower pay bands, while avoiding a freeze for others.
Under the agreement, pay is structured by taking account of the cost of living, market pay movements, change proposals, and the situation of staff who have received no pay increase for over four years. There is also a performance element, which takes account of performance at company, divisional and individual employee level.
The pay and reward aspects of Pathway to 2020 include a lump sum for staff not on legacy salaries or bands, and a faster rate of promotions. Voluntary redundancy will also be available for some. It also features joint union-management working groups to deal with concerns about workloads, and a ‘transition review.’
An earlier proposal was rejected by 70% of IMPACT members in a ballot.
