Ministry of Defence Guard Service: Conditions of Employment

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the potential effect on the number of applications for promotion of the introduction of Operational MGS Employment Contracts for all new employment contracts.

Answer

Equality Impact Assessments were completed prior to the introduction of the Operational MGS Employment Contract (OMEC) and pay rates relate to existing staff's terms to ensure promotion remains a viable and attractive option for those wishing to further their career within the MOD.

A recent recruitment campaign on OMEC terms and conditions received 20 applications, including those seeking promotion, indicating the new contract does not discourage those seeking promotion opportunities.
