Speaking after the latest deal was agreed, council leader Susan Aitken said she was delighted the authority could "deliver the final stage of the pay justice that many Glaswegian women have fought long and hard for". She said: "We always knew that the lag between the first agreement four years ago and putting in place a new pay and grading structure meant additional payments would be made."She added: "The complex process of replacing the council's pay and grading system to make it discrimination-proof is well advanced and will draw a line under the era of pay discrimination in Glasgow City Council.
Negotiations will now start to finalise the terms of individual settlement offers, including how and when payments will be made.
