Local issues

If you approaching 65, or are currently working past the age of 65 yrs. Liverpool City Council will be contacting you with an intended retirement date. For those over 65 they are currently reviewing your Contract. You will be given the option to meet with your manager to discuss this issue. There is a procedure to be followed and if anyone requires advice or represention please contact the UNISON Branch Office.

 

In order to be able to pursue a claim for equal pay under the Equal Pay Act, a member must first lodge a grievance and then a claim at the Employment Tribunal, usually within six months of termination of employment with that employer or a change of contract. This is important, since if a member fails to lodge within the six-month time limit they may be unable to pursue their claim at all.

Liverpool members who feel they have a claim for equal pay, and have not yet submitted a claim should do so immediately.  Print off, complete and return the form to the Branch Office.

NOTE: If you change your job, get a new contract, or leave, you must inform us immediately, so that we can ensure that your claim is lodged with the Tribunal within their strict time limits.

Liverpool City Council is currently making second offers to some members whose COT3 agreements have expired. These members will be contacted individually with an offer and date for collection.
