The Barbados government has reached an agreement with public sector trade unions resulting in workers getting a one-off payment of BBD$1,500, as well as a six per cent salary increase over the next two years.
The workers will also receive a 16 per cent hike in allowances up to 2025.
Under the agreement, which was reached on Tuesday following four rounds of negotiations, there will also be a regrading and job evaluation exercise across the public service this year and a committee set up to address employee grievances.
The National Union of Public Workers, which represents the largest number of public sector employees, welcomed the settlement as reasonable.
