*A lump sum/ one-off lump sum payment, sometimes described as a non-consolidated payment. A non-consolidated payment is a one-off payment which does not increase your overall salary or scale point value.
The additional one-off payment for 2022/23, will be worked out as the equivalent to three calendar months’ value of the difference between the 2022/23 and the 2023/24 pay rates calculated on an employee’s basic rate of pay and will be paid on a pro rata basis.”
