• Dear Sue
• Further to discussions that have been taking
  place during our consultation meetings on the
  implementation of the Framework Agreement, I am
  writing to formally confirm UNISONs stated
  position on back pay.
• As you are aware, the joint trade unions have
  raised the issue of paying back pay to those
  staff who have been identified as green circled
  under the evaluations.
• The need to do this arises from individuals
  rights to receive up to 6 years back pay
  following an upgrade (subject to individual
  circumstances).
• UNISON therefore request the University to make
  arrangements to pay back pay to those individuals
  affected as part of the collective agreement on
  implementation.
• Correspondingly, you will be aware that the joint
  unions as part of their consultation will be
  informing members of their rights under the Equal
  Pay act.
• In addition, I am very much aware that we are now
  past the 1st August implementation date and would
  reiterate our commitment o reaching a robust
  collective agreement as quickly as possible.
• Please do not hesitate to contact me should you
  wish to discuss this further.
• Yours sincerely
• Lisa Youlton
