British Gas Staff News


Dear Member,

There's some news we'd like to tell all members employed in Centrica/British Gas. Please take a moment to read through today's headlines:-

  • British Gas Services Pay 2010

Don't forget to let us know your views!


British Gas Services Pay 2010

An agreement has now been concluded with BG S for a pay increase of 1.8% from 1st January 2010. This arises from the established pay formula agreed with the trade unions.

In addition the company has said that it wants to open negotiations on two other pay related issues:

  • To move to a new pay anniversary date of 1st April each year instead of 1st January as at present.
  • The introduction of a new pay system for Level 8 staff similar to the scheme that already operates for Level 8 staff in BG Energy.

Discussions on these two issues will begin at the forthcoming NJC on 16th December 2009.

Members can be assured that no changes to existing pay arrangements will be agreed to unless they have the support of members. Full reports on developments will be provided to members as they take place over the next few months.
