Isle of Man Police Federation welcomes payout
A one-off pay offer of £3000 shows Manx police officers are 'respected'.
That's according to the Chair of the Isle of Man Police Federation.
Speaking to Manx Radio Barry Hand said it's a good start in terms of ensuring better pay for Manx officers.
Home Affairs Minister Jane Poole-Wilson announced the payment in Tynwald yesterday saying it was a way of addressing 'recruitment and retention issues while long-term pay solutions are explored'.
Mr Hand has described it as 'step one' but believes there's a lot more work to be done:
Medical Staff Committee claims vote of no confidence led to leadership changes at Manx Care
Electronic payment cards and vouchers among alternatives to MiCard under consideration
Tuesday sailings changed due to Manxman maintenance
47 buildings in the south waiting for protected status assessment since 2013
