It is a matter for each group of employees whether to submit a claim for the payment of 1 per cent allowed for under clause 2 (iv) of Annex 1—"Application to the Public Service of clause 2 of the Agreement on Pay, Conditions of Employment and Co-operation at the level of the Enterprise"— of the Programme for Competitiveness and Work.
