RfLI pay deal - 8.4% agreed

TSSA agreed the pay deal at the end of last year, but we were waiting to confirm when it will be paid.

The reps worked diligently to make the case for pay parity, bridging the gap with other similar roles in the industry.

To this end we have built on the TfL offer of 3.4% and added another 5% for multi-skilled workers, including TMs, SIMs and a new multi-skilled grade for IRMs. This will be backdated from April 2025. Our deal is a two year deal, with the second year fully consolidated at February RPI, but no lower than 3%.

This followed a successful strike ballot and pressure put on by members and reps to hold steady, finally voting on the deal in December. We also secured a First Aid payment for IRMs paid from April 2026 and have an agreement for the Special Spares scheme to remain in place until at least November 2026.

The pay rise and back pay will be paid in February for most, but some with older contracts of shift payment uplifts may take longer, so contact Payroll if you haven’t received yours by the end of February.

We made a lot of progress but there is still work to do and we want to work with all members especially through the Project PARIS process to ensure things go smoothly and that we can build on the gains we have made. We will be monitoring salaries in comparable industries to ensure our members’ salaries remain fair.
