PFEW Pay and Morale Survey 2020 - Have your say!

Make sure that you have your say!

The Pay and Morale survey is the only national survey to capture members’ views on pay and conditions. It is a valuable source of information to help to help us to negotiate for better pay and conditions locally and nationally.

It was, for example, instrumental in securing the 2.5% uplift to police officer pay and the recent removal of the lowest point on the sergeants' pay scale.

The closing date is midnight on Friday 11 September.
