**STOP PRESS** (21/06/16)


A kind reader from North Lanarkshire has shared a copy of their letter regarding the Council's late-running job evaluation (JE) review, Page 2 of which contains the following paragraph:
"For equal pay claimants, in accordance with the terms of settlement agreed with your representative, you will receive a separate payment based on your new grade to reflect the period from 1 April 2015 to 8 June 2016. This will be progressed in conjunction with your legal representative and will represent the final part of your Settlement Agreement. Every effort will be made to progress this payment as early as possible."

Now although the paragraph does not contain the actual word 'backpay' the reference to a separate payment between 1 April 2015  and 8 June 2016 has to amount to the same thing, if you ask me. 

So let's hope that this is a case of 'all's well that ends well' and, as ever, it would be wise not to go spending any money that you may be due until this has arrived safely in your bank account.

"First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
