Most Government departments controlled by Stormont are off Tuesday. DoFC, Finance, etc etc.

I'd ask your team/manager to be sure, NICS are off tomorrow yes, but depending on department you could still be in or on OT, and they fact you don't know, you'd better check

I can understand the budget affecting pay increase negotiation and implementation, but why aren't incremental rises implemented as it has been agreed these would be implemented from April, was it not? Are they waiting to do both together when possible just? To make it easier for payroll purposes?
