Two year settlement for Police pay round

Police have negotiated a two year pay round settlement with the Police Association.

Acting Deputy Commissioner Michael Player says the settlement includes a one-off payment of $1,000 per person at 1 July 2010 and a 1.3 percent wage increase from 1 July 2011.

Mr Player says the two year settlement, which runs to 30 June 2012, will provide valuable stability over an important period which includes the Rugby World Cup.
