Market Supplements for HGV Drivers and Waste & Recycling Establishment
To consider the extension of market supplement
for HGV drivers.
As a result of a national shortage of HGV (Heavy Goods Vehicles)
drivers, the findings of a salary benchmarking exercise, and low
response rates to HGV driver vacancies, it was agreed in July 2021
(see background papers) to apply a 7.5% market supplement to HGV
driver salaries.
This agreement was to be in place until March 2023, and as such is
now due to be reviewed.
During 2021 and 2022, some frontline waste and recycling services
have been suspended because of staff shortages. The size of the
staffing “pool” has been reviewed to ensure it is
adequately resourced to provide resilience in periods of high staff
absence.
