A pay dispute at Swale BC has been resolved after 'informal' contact with the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service.
All staff will receive two six-monthly staged increases of 2.5% and 3.5%.
PE Imbucon consultants, which the council has worked with since it opted out of the National Joint Council, recommended a tiered system of pay increases after comparing the council with the wider market.
This was rejected by the council and Unison. Chief executive Chris Edwards said: 'ACAS was involved at an informal level to discuss where we were heading. At that stage there was agreement.'
