Pay discrepancy in Boxing Day pay run

With local area budgets not confirmed for some areas until later than usual last year due to the uncertainty created by proposed government legislation, some staff were impacted by contract change processing delays that subsequently affected their pay. The majority of these underpayments have been resolved in the 9 January pay run, however, if you have any questions or concerns about your pay, please raise a query in the Services Portal.
