Note
Local authority craftsmen generally are early starters for the purpose of national pay agreements. Accordingly, the pay scale applicable to them with effect from 1 January 1980 included the second phase increase payable under the 1979 National Understanding; this scale also applied on the date (viz. 30 June 1980) on which that understanding terminated in relation to early starters. Similarly, the scale applicable with effect from 1 August 1980 included the first phase increase under the 1980 understanding; it also included a special pay increase negotiated with effect from that date.
