This year, the Government have accepted all 13 of the independent recommendations put forward by the pay review body. This year’s award represents an increase of at least 4% for all operational prison staff, delivering another real-terms pay rise on top of the one provided last summer. This will increase the starting salary for an entry-level officer, on the national rate of 39 hours, from £34,494 to £35,875. The award was announced two months earlier than last year, recognising our commitment to accelerating the pay review body timetable to deliver a timely pay award to staff.
