We are required to implement the national Framework Agreement of 2003 between the Universities and Colleges Employers Association (UCEA) and trade unions with effect from 1st August 2006. CMT agreed the following proposals, for subsequent consultation with our recognised trade unions. The paper addresses the practical consequences of different detailed implementations of the Framework and to ensure full understanding of the implications of the proposed changes in order to manage consequent budget and organisational changes.
The whole purpose of the Framework Agreement is to bring all staff groups into a single framework for pay and conditions of service and thereby eliminate inequitable practices. The Framework is not just about new pay rates. It is also about changing a number of working practices which could undermine the Framework’s objectives. Much detailed work has been carried out on this with managers and recognised trade union colleagues and we have done costings regarding putting this new Framework into effect. What is proposed in this paper is therefore a single package of changes. CMT members will need to play a leading role in explaining and implementing these changes within their schools and services.
