Pay Rise 2025
Your union has been in discussions with BT Group about your pay, this has been a complex process; however, you will be pleased to hear an agreement has been reached. You will get the final say on this agreement. We will be recommending that you vote YES in this ballot.
The bullet points below summarise the key points in the pay offer, which is effective from 1st April 2025. To see how it directly affects your pay, go to the table below.
Every team member will receive a minimum of 1% plus £1000 (the entire sum will be both consolidated and pensionable). See the table attached to understand how it affects your grade.
A maximum of 6.7% consolidated and pensionable increase will be applied to Consumer frontline pay. This maintains a 7.5% buffer above the new National Living Wage (also effective from 1st April 2025) and allows selection from a range of salary sacrifice reward benefits. Consumer frontline members paid below the new spot rate of £25,684 will move to that rate. This represents an increase of between 5% and 5.6%. No one will receive less than 1% plus £1000.
Both pay rises are consolidated, which means your hourly rate of pay flows through to pay related payments such as overtime, bank holiday premiums, and pension. Secondly, it means it is a sustained increase, setting pay on a permanently higher foundation for future pay rises.
All team members must be in BT Group employment on 1st April 2025 to be eligible for the pay uplift.
The date for the next annual pay review will be 1st April 2026.
You will be informed of the consultative ballot timetable in the coming days.
Yours sincerely
KAREN ROSE
Deputy General Secretary (T&FS)
