Prospect Negotiator Richard Hardy said "We've expressed on numerous occasions our disappointment about the failure to make a real start on pay restoration for staff employed at Scottish Government, and we recognise there are constraints on what the Scottish Government can afford. However this pay rise at least ensures that members do not fall further behind in real wage terms, and represents another substantial improvement over what our members employed by Westminster will receive, a further indication of the influence the Unions have in Scotland

Prospect members vote to accept the Scottish Governments 2019 pay offer
Following a ballot, Prospect members working at the Scottish Government have voted to accept a pay offer worth a minimum consolidated increase of 3%. Some staff will receive a higher consolidated award due to progression payments, whilst staff on the maximum will receive an additional 1% non consolidated payment. Members in PCS and FDA also accepted the offer and we hope that members will see the increases in their July pay packet (with backdated pay to April also being included)
