Dear Colleagues
POST OFFICE: PAY AGREEMENT 2025 – BALLOT RESULT
Further to LTB 055/25 dated 18th March. Our Post Office members have overwhelmingly endorsed the Pay Agreement for 2025/26. The result is:
Yes Votes | 579 | 93% |
No Votes | 43 | 7% |
Turnout | 49% |
*spoilt ballot papers – 1
Post Office has been advised of this outcome and has confirmed that members will receive the minimum 3% pay uplift with April salaries. As a reminder, the key features of this one year no-strings Pay Agreement are as follows:
A minimum 3% pay increase (or £800 which is slightly above 3% for our lowest paid members, predominantly the PAs in Cash Centres) flowing through to all allowances, SA and overtime rates. Comparable increases also apply to London weighting.
Annual leave entitlements improved so that the maximum 30 days is obtained after two years’ service (previously five). This benefits c.30% of our members who have less than five years’ service
Improved Employer Pension Contribution Rates – minimum of 9%. Removal of the two lowest Employer Contribution tiers, meaning the current 7% and 8% Employer Contribution tiers rise to 9% (which will become the new minimum).
The next pay review date is 1st April 2026.
Conclusion
Following this week’s devastating news about the future of the Crown Network, for many members, job security will be more important than an annual pay increase.
Notwithstanding this, I would like to thank our Post Office members for supporting this outcome.
Yours sincerely,
Andy Furey
Assistant Secretary
