<p>I can confirm that as a result of multilateral discussions, the DWP Permanent Secretary
- Peter Schofield, announced on 14 June that contractual Employee Deal salary uplifts
would be paid on time for the majority of colleagues within DWP.</p><p> </p><p>Payments
of consolidated pay increases will be made in July salaries for the AA, AO, EO and
HEO grades. Unfortunately, without the Civil Service pay guidance, we cannot move
forward on non-consolidated end-of-year payments nor can we proceed on consolidated
pay awards for SEO, Grade 7 and Grade 6 colleagues.</p><p> </p><p>We are continuing
to press for the pay guidance to be published as soon as possible. The Secretary of
State for Work and Pensions - Rt Hon Esther McVey MP has also taken part in a number
of discussions with counterparts responsible for Her Majesty’s Treasury and Cabinet
Office to convey the urgency of the situation.</p><p> </p><p>We have been working
closely with trade unions and will continue to do so to ensure that all payments are
made as soon as possible.</p>
