Ongoing Claims
A reader from North Lanarkshire dropped me a note earlier today regarding her ongoing claim - here's my response which may help to answer similar queries from other readers:
"Dear Colleague
North Lanarkshire Council - Ongoing Claims
Yes, you do indeed have an ongoing claim against North Lanarkshire Council - which Action 4 Equality Scotland is already pursuing on your behalf.
The reason for your ongoing claim is that the council was only prepared to settle your claim up until the date that the council introduced new Single Status pay arrangements.
In North Lanarkshire's case this took place at the end of December 2006 - so you have a further claim from January 2007 onwards - because the council continued to protect the much higher earnings of the big bonus earning jobs.
You do not need to do anything about your ongoing claim at this stage - this is already well in hand.
Please ignore any desperate attempts by the trade unions to tell you otherwise - because they are simply untrue.
We will be in touch as soon as there are any developments.
Kind regards
Mark"
