Police pensions deal

The Metropolitan Police Authority is to outsource its pay and pensions service for police officers and staff in a 31m deal. The contract with LogicaCMG software consultancy will last seven years and cover all 46,000 employees. The software, written specifically for the public sector, will also potentially enable staff to book holidays using the system.

Royal Mail pay rises

Employees at Royal Mail are to get an above-inflation pay increase after the company struck a deal with the Communication Workers Union. Its deputy general secretary, Dave Ward, said: “The clear priority for our members is basic pay. This deal will give everyone an above-inflation increase, between 3.8% and around 4.5%. That is genuine progress.”
