The Manx Electricity Authority has given its staff a pay rise.
The rise is 1.5 per cent.
Although a cross-government pay freeze is in force, pay rises are permitted if the money is found within department's existing budgets.
It follows a negotiated rise for postal staff, after a management row with their union, the CWU.
MEA deputy chairman, Eddie Lowey, has defended the decision.
