Dear Member  (Derby City Council)

You will by now have been notified by your employer; Derby City Council, that they have decided to delay implementation of the job evaluation scheme, for all staff until 1 June 2016.

Please note that this decision has been taken by Derby City Council and not UNISON.

The situation regarding the Appeals Process is not yet clear and we understand via the Helpdesk that Derby City Council will be releasing the amended Appeals Policy in the coming days.

As soon as Derby City Council provide further information we shall of course share it with you, our members.
