1st December 2009 - Terms & Conditions Integration

The Lloyds Banking Group announced today that it plans to inform all staff of the proposals to integrate terms and conditions of employment between HBOS and Lloyds TSB staff on Thursday, 3rd December.

The proposals, which have been the subject of discussion between the Bank and the unions, will be subject to further consultation. No agreement has been reached at this stage.

Accord's Principal Executive Council (PEC) met on 30th November to consider its position and has confirmed that Accord will carry out a full consultative ballot to find out what members think, once they've had time to read and fully understand the proposals and their implications. 

So, members will determine what happens next and it is really important that everybody participates by voting when the ballot takes place in January. (The ballot dates will be confirmed separately soon.)

In the meantime, the PEC has authorised special general meetings for Accord workplace Representatives to discuss the proposals, consider members' initial reactions and start to plan the way forward.

The meetings will take place this month as follows:

Reps (or deputies where the rep is unavailable for any reason) need to speak to their managers to book time-off work and make their travel plans. The Bank understands and supports the reason for these meetings and will encourage all managers to allow a Rep or member to attend wherever possible.

Any queries relating to time-off, travel etc should be referred to hilary.letch@AccordHQ.org

Any general queries or comments about term and conditions integration should be referred to info@AccordHQ.org.
