This latest increase includes the 0.4% economic stability dividend (ESD) payment announced by the provincial government late last year, and brings NBA members' total gain in compensation to more than 5% in less than two years.
By 2019, members will have received at least a 6.7% wage increase over the life of the agreement.
Members can view the updated NBA wage grid to find out their new rate of pay, effective the first pay period after February 1.
