Building Momentum Pay Measure – 1st October 2023
As you will know, the final pay measure under the Building Momentum National Agreements fell due on 1st October last. That increase was either an increase of 1.5% on basic salary, or €750, whichever is the greater.
Typically, there have been long delays in having these pay measures implemented in the health service. The IMO has continued to engage with the HSE in this regard and has been given the following payment dates for the various HSE payroll areas.

The dates above are the latest dates by which pay and arrears should be changed to reflect the new pay rates from 1st October; it can be expected that many members will have their pay rates changed in advance of the dates above.
Importantly, however, given the previous difficulties experienced in making sure that NCHDs get pay movements in their current rotation, it was important to receive confirmation that these payments will be discharged prior to the January 2024 changeover.
